Very helpful and clarified.

I'm sure there has been plenty of backlash already but I'm adding my voice too. Registered nurses are the most important care team members to oversee interventions such as HOB >30 degrees. RTs are vital, of course, but for nursing interventions, nurses step up not RTs. RNs and the rest of the nursing team are the ones with the patient 24/7. Give credit where credit is due. I'm loving the MedCram lectures. ***** otherwise. Thank you.

Helpful review. Hitting all the highlights. Presenting a case study would bridge the content to care at the bedside. A clear table of references should be provided at the end of the lessons.
