94 | The essential guide to toxicology part five: how to manage ingestion of household hazards as a veterinary nurse

In this episode, we're nearing the end of our toxicology series with a look at the common household hazards our patients ingest, and how to care for those patients confidently. Household hazards are something we see often - especially in my line of work, where things like caustic chemical ingestion or battery ingestion cause severe GI signs (or worse) needing intensive management. From fluid therapy, to nutrition, to analgesia, GI support and more, our role in caring for these patients cannot be overlooked. Today, we'll take a closer look at toxicosis from things like household cleaners, corrosive agents, alcohols and essential oils. We'll discuss the impact they have on our patients, and the nursing support these patients need. --- BRAND NEW ways to learn with me: 📲 Join the Medical Nursing Library Club 📲 Join me for the next live webinar: IV access 101, how to hit those tricky veins! --- More free ways to learn with me: 📲 Grab the show notes and references from today's episode 📲 Follow me on Instagram 🖥️ Learn more about medical nursing --- This podcast does not replace a veterinary surgeon's advice, and its content is provided only for information.
