Presentation Transcript

  1. Warm-Up Respiratory Therapist Carol has two patients scheduled to get albuterol treatments. Patient 1 has treatments at 12:30pm, 8:30pm and 4:30am Patient 2 has treatment at 8:30am, 4:30pm and 12:30am. RT Carol charts in her notes: Albuterol treatment given to patient 1 at 4:30am, pt. tol. well, VS stable Albuterol treatment given to patient 2 at 4:30am, pt. tol well but noted increased HR at the end of treatment. Will monitor HR closely. What error do you note in RT Carol’s notes? On a sheet of paper, brainstorm ways of preventing this error from happening.

  2. Military Time Principles of Health Science

  3. Why do you need to know about military time? • We use military time in healthcare in order to tell the difference between AM and PM more easily. • Using military time decreases errors in patient care • If a doctor tells you to give medications at 9:00, 3:00 and 11:00, does he mean AM or PM? • It’s more precise to say that these medications are due at 0900, 1500 and 2300.

  4. How do you calculate military time? • You will write military time without the colon between the hours and minutes • Example - Midnight is 2400, 12noon is 1200 • If the time is before 10:00 AM, put a zero in front of the time • Ex: 9:00 AM is 0900 • No zero is needed for 10:00 and 11:00am and 12:00pm (1000, 1100 and 1200)

  5. How do you calculate military time? • After 12:00 noon, you must add “12” to the hour column in the given time Example: 2:35 pm is 1435 Let’s Practice!!!!!!

  6. Convert the following clock times to military time • 4:28 PM • 2:30 AM • 12:00 midnight • 10:17 PM • 6:30 PM • 7:00 AM • 11:35 AM

  7. Convert the following clock times to military time • 4:28 PM 1628 • 2:30 AM 0230 • 12:00 midnight 0000/2400 • 10:17 PM 2217 • 6:30 PM 1830 • 7:00 AM 0700 • 11:35 AM 1135

  8. Convert the following military times into clock times (AM or PM) • 12 noon • 0925 • 1820 • 0126 • 1530 • 1745 • 2245

  9. Convert the following military times into clock times (AM or PM) • 12 noon 12:00 pm • 0925 9:25 am • 1820 6:20 pm • 0126 1:26 am • 1530 3:30 pm • 1745 5:45 pm • 2245 10:45 pm
