I must reply to the nurse taking the vitals and LEAVING THE ROOM. They
are recovered in their rooms that is what LDRP means. So this would be
like putting a surgical patient in the recovery room taking the vitals
and quietly leaving. Sorry but the circulating (recovery) nurse stays in
the ROOM for ONE Hour per standards of care.
