Pulse Ox / BP sites

Please remember to change your patients' pulse ox sites Q shift.  Not doing so can cause skin breakdown, ouch!  For those patients with BP cuffs on at all times, please change extremities at least Q shift, and if this isn't possible, at least take it off, wipe it down and let the extremity air out a bit.  We know how smelly they can get.  Thanks everyone!
