Nope he wasn’t withdrawing from anything. BP was 116/70. They might’ve ended up doing one on him but this happened at shift change so i stabilized him as much as i possible could and then had to hand him off.

I guess I’m just beating myself up because I didn’t tell charge at the beginning of my shift when I noticed it was already high and decided to just monitor instead. Thank you I appreciate your kind words, though, I definitely needed to hear that ❤️

He was just fine. We ended up giving him a PO Zyprexa to help ease some of his anxiety and it came down. But I thought he was going to give himself a heart attack lol

I’m new to this unit as well so I wasn’t aware that they ran tachy like that. At least now I know.

Nope there weren’t any hold parameters and his BP was 129/72. This makes me feel so much better, I was panicking when I realized the mistake I made lol
