seem to be alright.

Kelli: Oh yeah, when did we last have pain… Have you got pain?
Dolly: Yes, yes I do.
Kelli: You do?
Dolly: In my hip.
Kelli: Katie, can you tell me if she had pain relief this morning?
Katie: She has had pain relief this morning, but she’s just got endone
written up, and she’s had her endone, paracetamol. I feel like she needs
something, sort of, slow release. It seems to wear off quite quickly.
Kelli: Ok.
Monica: Chanika, can you check this with me please?
Katie: I’m a bit worried ‘cos she hasn’t passed any urine since, I don’t
think, yesterday afternoon… She looks a bit dry in the mouth as well.
At the same time: Monica and Chanika check Dolly’s ID and the
medications. Chanika asks for Dolly’s chart from Kelli, who apologises
and hands it to her.
Katie: She looks a bit dry in the mouth as well.
Kelli: Yes, we’ll get those fluids… and we’ll get some… do you feel like
you need some pain relief Dolly?
Chanika and Monica continue checking the medication
Dolly: Yes, yes, I think so.
Kelli: Ok, right. So Katie, I think maybe we’ll give some slow release…
let me write that up. So if you can organise that. Has she got any allergis
that you know of?
Monica: [to Dolly]: Ok Dolly, so I’m just going to put this IV in here for
you.
Katie: No allergies. No allergies Dolly?
Dolly: No
At the same time
Monica: No, she’s got no allergies.
Kelli: Katie, can you organise that for me please?
Katie: Ok, yep. Will that be ok with her blood pressure?
Kelli: Yes, well we’ll give her some fluids.
Katie: Ok, so I can give her this…?
Kelli: We’ll check it again before with give it. That would be good.
Katie: Ok, right. Cool, so I’ll let you know…
Chanika: Katie, do you want to come and check this with me?
Katie: I need to get some pain relief for Dolly, so…
Chanika: I’ve got it here.
Katie: Oh, ok.
[[Everyone speaking over each other]]
Kelli: Monica, when you’ve got some [inaudible – everyone speaking at
once] antibiotics. She hasn’t been on any… and I think that’s maybe…
Have we had a look at her wound this morning?
Monica: No, we haven’t actually. We haven’t got her out of bed for a
shower yet, so…
Kelli: Right.
Monica: Do you want us to have a look at her wound?
Kelli: Yeah, we need to look at the wound to see what’s happening now.
Monica: Ok, no problem. So I’m just going to get this IV going.
Kelli: [to Dolly] This is no good, Dolly, is it?
Dolly: No.
Kelli: I think you should be heading on the way home now, not getting
worse.
Monica: We need a new IV, it’s actually [bunged] so we need a new IV.
Kelli: Ok, right. I’ll put that in. Would you grab me the trolley for that
please? That would be good.
Talking over each other.
Monica: Yep, sure. Yep.
Kelli: Great, so Dolly, we’re just getting you some more antibiotics
again…
Dolly: Ok
Kelli: And we’re getting you a bit of fluid. I think you’re a bit dry, aren’t
you?
Dolly: Yes, I’d love a cup of tea.
Kelli: You’d love a cup of tea! You’re a cup-of- tea girl are you? How do
you have your tea?
Dolly: With one sugar.
Kelli: Ok. I think maybe when we get this sorted we might be able to get
you a cup of tea.
Dolly: Ok.
Kelli: Alright.
Monica: [returning with trolley] What side would you like it in doctor?
Kelli: We’ll go this side.
Monica: Ok, cool.
Kelli: And that way…
Monica: [to Chanika] Can I just get the IV out of this trolley here?
Chanika and Katie continue checking the medications
Kelli: So, Dolly, I need to pop another drip in.
Dolly: Alright.
Kelli: I know they’re a bit uncomfortable, but we need to give you this
fluid. It’ll make you feel a lot better.
Dolly: Ok.
Kelli: Where do you live, Dolly?
Dolly: I live in a retirement home.
Kelli: Oh, lovely.
Monica: [returns with the new IV] Ok
Kelli: Very good.
Katie: So, just letting you know, we’ve got the pain relief ready. We just
need to wait ‘til…
Kelli: Excellent. I’m going to pop that in now. So we’ve got fluids ready to
go, we’ve got pain relief, and we’ve got someone getting antibiotics.
Katie: And someone getting antibiotics, ok.
Kelli: Lovely. Excellent. I think Monica was going to do that? Are you
going to do the antibiotics next, Monica?
Monica: Yes, yes. So I’ve got that here for you.
Katie: Do you want me to do anything else? Want me to check the
pressure again?
Kelli: Yes, we’ll need to take the obs again.
Katie: Yeah.
Kelli: Katie, you could do that for me?
Katie: Yep.
Monica: Where’s the other nurse? Chanika? Can you check this with me
please?
Kelli: Oh, Monica, remember that IV’s not working on that side. So just
give me a moment and I’ll pop this one in.
[Talking over each other]
Monica: Oh, yes, that’s right. [to Chanika] Can you just check this with
me?
Chanika: Yes, that’s already been checked…
Everyone talking at once.
Monica: Ok, we’ll get the IV in and then we’ll do that.
Dolly: Very busy.
Kelli: Very busy! Always busy these days!
