Is a share pack of m&m's really for two people or is it all for me at two different points in the day?
Depends. If it’s peanut m&m’s then it is for one person all at one time. If you disagree, fight me

All of these M&Ms are YOURS...except the green ones. Eat them together. Eat them in peace...

You mean the clinical definition is different or... they're all AMS?
In certain areas AOx3 means a completely normal mentation while in others AOx4 means the same thing. It is a regional change. I notice it a lot with float nurses or travel nurses who come from other areas.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE.

My partner had a pt from the floor and asked the nurse his orientation. AOx3 she said, that he was fully alert and oriented. He was so confused and we just thought the nurse had no idea how to nurse.

What is the question that isn't asked?

If you are using the questions of Person, Place, Time, and Purpose, then Purpose is not included.

I’ve seen it used differently in different text books.

When I read her question, I pretty much read it as "How much weight can YOU lift on top of the weight of the gurney? Do you even lift bro?" There is no way I am lifting more than 200 lbs (~90 kg) and usually I have my partner's help to lift or lull out the gurney with the patient on it. Not sure if that is what she asking, but that's how I read it. You're not in the US or what made you ask in kg, Dragon???

Yes, it's definitely a "Do you even lift bro".

It’s always a 2 person lift with a cot. Always.

We routinely move 300+ pound patients on the Stryker Power Pro. (Thats 136 kg for those of you that yearn to be Canadian)
