Geez..did you go straight from EMS into this job? How long did it take to really settle in and become comfortable? Did you ever have to provide more than first aid?You got it! Just like if I give you 800mg of ibuprofen it is a recordable, but if I give you 400mg and tell you to take 1 pill every 4 hours, it is a non-recordable.
And the "other duties as assigned" allows me to have you sit at a desk and stack papers or twiddle pens instead of getting a "lost time" on record.
If I sutured someone, recordable. If I used butterfly strips, non recordable. If I used dermabond, recordable. If I instruct patient how to use dermabond on their own, non-recordable. All the rules exist for one reason or another, yet every single one of them has a complete workaround.
