How to mitigate the exposure as a nurse? Half my waking life I'm breathing air infused with death, disease, literal shit, quinolones and decay. Would a personal/portable negative ion generator be helpful?
Shedding, skin to skin exposure, droplets.. This info might finally be a tipping point in quitting my job.
Edit: actually this makes so much sense. If we can analyze bloodethanol through a breathalyzer, if we can smell when a patient is in ketoacidosis, why wouldnt there be drugmetabolites and hormones in exhaled air.
That maybe partly explains my preference for intubated patients.
