Just Us Nurses, is discussing #AmandaTrujillo, RN, #nursefriendly #nurseup:””That’s what Amanda Trujillo said she was doing last April when she spoke with a patient on the eve of their surgery.
”I discovered that they had a very big misunderstanding about what they were about to participate in,” Trujillo told CBS 5 News.
Trujillo, a licensed nurse in Arizona since 2006, said she advised the patient of possible complications.
The patient decided to delay the surgery and reconsider his or her options.
Trujillo said she also ordered a case management consult for the patient to be educated about hospice care.
”The doctor, ultimately, is the focal point that directs care for patients,” said Banner spokesman Bill Byron, who said company policy prevents nurses from ordering a case management consult.”
