That's also why a doctor in the ER will repeat every questions you ask in the ambulance, as well as why every nurse who examines the patients will reask every questions you asked, and gave them the answer when you gave the nurses your report. Same exact reason.
I agree 100%
Although we have a pretty good relationship with the nurses and physicians in our system. Many nurses won't re-ask questions if we've built a good rapport with them, provide them with an excellent hand off report and have proven ourselves competent. If I give them a thorough report including vaccinations, height, weight, primary care physician and/or pertinent specialty physicians. They are busy and recognize that most of us are good at what we do and if we can make their job easier they take all the info they can get from us.
That's not to say that there aren't nurses out there that don't listen to a word we say when we give them a report and redo all the work that we did.
