REAL OR NOT RATING: ★★★★★ (1 Being the Worst, 5 Being the Best.)
REAL
-
“Clear!” When Monique is having code blue simulation, Nurse Maggie and Nurse Doris are there to test her skills in rescuing a dying infant. In this scenario, Monique provides all the necessary actions except saying “Clear!” before shocking the baby. Nurse Doris is still touching the baby when Monique puts the paddles of defibrillator on the baby without shouting “Clear! ” She is right when she says that Monique has just killed her because in reality, saying “Clear!” before shocking means for everyone to back away in order for them not to be shocked as well thus resulting in injuries like burns.
-
“Know the right dosage.” Monique is still on skills check-off and Nurse Maggie asks her about the dosage of adenosine for the baby who is having supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). Unfortunately, she gives a wrong dosage therefore it causes an overdosing of medications resulting in killing the patient. In real life, if you give a wrong dose of medication to a person, it might result in underdosing and overdosing thus affecting the effect of drugs on patients.
-
“Consumption of non-nutritive substances is a psychiatric disorder.” When Sean Adams is having gastrointestinal bleeding, Dr. Charles finds out the he has been taking gasoline. In this case, he is diagnosed with pica. Dr. Charles is correct when he diagnoses Sean with this disorder because pica is the persistent eating of substances such as dirt or paint that have no nutritional value.
FAKE
- Nothing’s wrong with the episode.
