This page contains Kaiser Permanente Sunnyside Hospital Doctor's Orders to Salem Hospital - Regional Home Care Services

"Home Health will meet patient and son out at their house at 3:30 p.m. this afternoon to complete the teaching. Home Health will comtinue to follow with patient at home."



Kaiser Permanente Sunnyside Hospital Nurses were operation out of their comfort zone ~ Said, "Home health Nurse will do most of the instruction when patient arrives home."

I continually asked for intruction before discharge at Kaiser Permanente Sunnyside Hospital. I was allowed to give only one Ativan (Lorazepam) injection that was already drawn and prepared. I was told that most of the equipment at home would be different, and that Salem Hospital - Regional Home Care Services Nurse would teach me what I need to know for the care and comfort of my mother. I was never allowed to mix saline with medications, draw dosages, or give morphine while at the hospital.
