That is well within the nursing scope of practice. As a nurse, you are the last line of defense before a possible inappropriate intervention is administered. It is your job to know the purpose and rationale of the treatment. It is not to just follow orders. You should know how to interpret ABG's and be aware of the vent adjustments necessary. Don't touch the vent, that is respiratorys job, but if they make a change that you do not agree with, ask for a rationale. Its not trying to be a doctor, its learning your practice so you can protect the patient.

You are out of scope of nursing practice by interfereing with vents, ABGs etc..for that you have Respiratory practitioners(therapists), MDs, pulm fellows etc..don't get yourself in trouble; I've seen plenty of RNs get in trouble trying to be doctors (here in NYC that is)..an RN lost her license because she did an ABG (she is not allowed under scope of practice) paralyzing patient's hand. That's why we have MDs and respiratory..why get yourself in trouble. Peace. Greg RN.

There are several medical calculators ranging from free on up. I bought several to find my favorite. My favorite ended up being Mediquations ($4.99). Check it out in the App Store.

I'm excited to see apps emerge this year that help docs' decision making capabilities at the point of care – aka, those that ultimately improve the quality and accuracy of health care. Good way for health reform to get under way!
