GREAT CATCH!

Alison Gergely, RN had a great catch with an outpatient in PACU and a prescription. A physician had written a prescription to be sent home with a patient for "Aspirin 650mg every 4hours for pain" and Alison quickly realized this was a mistake and could be harmful. She contacted the physician and had the prescription cancelled before the patient left the hospital after surgery. Thanks Alison for looking out for our patient's safety and recognizing potential errors. Great awareness and great catch!
