What is the safest way to record vitals in an isolation room?Rating: (votes: 0) You can write them down on a paper towel and stick it on the door frame with a piece of tape. Comment:
I usually call them out to one of my co-workers who will write them down for me.

I'm a nursing student too. I've been writing them on the white board so I can see them when I leave the room and take off my PPE. Then I can write them on my brain sheet.

I'm lucky in that there are computers in every pt room at the hospital we are at this semester

Yeah, don't take the glove out of the room, smack your instructor in the forehead for me (do I need to say kidding?) after you take the glove off. The other comments were right on.

We have so many patients in isolation that I've become pretty adept at remembering BP/PR, SaO2/RR/SaO2/BSL, weight and output - though not for more than a few minutes!
Comment:
I usually write them on the dry erase board in the room or I get an extra pen and leave it in the room and write vitals on a paper towel.

i write them on a paper towel and tape that to the window in the door. or to the sliding glass doors. tape will pull the paint right off the walls or door frame, so it goes on glass. or i put them into the handy dandy bedside computer.
