[NP-Clinical] Two FP questions

[Dennis and Rebecca Logue]

Hey guys.

 

In know my last posting was about hematuria also
..how about the  woman with
u/a showing NEG blood, the micro showing HIGH  RBC’s and negative cytology.
What to do, if anything with that one?

 

Also, does anyone know about Colonoscopy prep? I had a patient ask me the
morning of her colonoscopy if she should take her BP and insulin.  My
collaborating MD said not to take anything.  I was going to tell her to take
the BP med, ½ dose of her nightly Lantus and NO Novalog.  The GI doc
deferred to us
.so he obviously was clueless.  Is there a certain accepted
protocol with meds (like when to start stop plavix and ASA and insulin
dosing) for colonoscopy prep??

 

Thanks and have a happy Friday!

 

Rebecca  (whose collaborating MD and wife are coming to baby sit our three
kids so we can go celebrate our 8th Anniversary this weekend!)
