Learning Objectives: 1. Differentiate between the different types of evidence

3. Devise a system that most efficiently preserves evidence in the fluid world of prescribing habits.
Disclosure Statement
• John Niedermann has disclosed no relevant, real or apparent personal or professional financial relationships.
When Anna returned from South Carolina in 2005, she came back
really clear.
She was not taking as much medication.
The IV was kept in the guest bathroom in a drawer. Anna was weak and Khris would ask me where the IV was.
I saw Khris give Anna a “drip” or “serum” when Anna was very
weak.
