Step III CCS-question

[USMLE0423]

Hey,

I was wondering what it means and also what to subsequently do if someone refuses an intervention/treatment that you order on CCS. Like lets say someone refuses Abx... well, there is no alternative if they have an infection, right? Just wanted some clarification. Thanks

will get that if not appropriate therapy.....like too invasive/aggressive

Ahaha, glad I wasn't the only one with that scenario.

Hypothetically, there may have been a baby that was vomiting and not eating- refusing breastmilk ,refusing hypoallergenic formula....I tried to order an NG tube and had it refused 😛

I had a pt refuse intervention on the real test too... I think it means there's a more conservative treatment that you haven't thought about yet.
