Will check BMP to recheck sodium. I think this was s/l falsely (or could be possibly) low due to her glucose of 280.
Is anyone familiar with this? Is it possible for sodium to be falsely low in the context of high glucose?
Thanks..

You know, I have been doing this since 1983, hospital, clinic, in-house, nationals,etc., and I was not trying to say that it was impossible, only that I had not personally heard it, I just thought if you could double-listen, because being an Operative MT especially these last few years, I had PERSONALLY never come across that, even in lower extremity surgery with elderly patients, but I was not saying you were wrong. I am really disappointed, because it seems like some MTs here are treating this board as a personal challenge or contest, who can get the best answer first, and I am the first to know my own limitations, I just share what I PERSONBALLY know. Some (minority) like to criticize other people's answers. If you know better, that is great because you can really help the questioning MT. Why be rude when someone posts and states that they are trying to be helpful? Wow, talk about egos.
