Discussion
- HOURLY vital signs on TISS
- Do other centres mark hourly vital signs on the TISS if only the screen pulse is marked every hour on the nurses' flow sheet and BP recorded every 4 hours?--MWaschuk 20:18, 29 September 2008 (CDT)
- MaryLou, I think as long as some vital signs are done hourly it should still count as the nurse must still document this. --LKolesar 07:21, 30 September 2008 (CDT)
