The care on the respiratory unit for my mother was in general good. As a charge nurse myself I noticed that the staff taking observations very rarely took a patients respiratory rate, this was guessed. I feel this is inexplicable!
A patients respiratory rate is an important part of the assessment. Why incorporate it if one is going to guess? Lazy.
"Generally good"
