My mother stayed overnight after surgery. She had intractable nausea even after Zofran . The nurse said he would get something else ordered and never came back. While she was throwing up, the CNA just walked out. Post operative nausea is very common. They need standing orders for anti nausea medications or maybe they do have them and the nurse forgot to check in on her. Either way, her miserable night could have been avoided if the nurses were more thoughtful and caring. Perhaps it is a matrix issue? Too many patients assigned to one nurse? Not enough CNA s to assist? Whatever the reason, I give them 2 stars for the poor uncompassionate care on the surgical unit. Controlling post operative nausea with vomiting should be nursing 101 on a surgical floor. With that said, the hospital is nice and clean, surgeons were great!
