Sick

2/29/08

Several people at Pioneer were home sick today and several more were sent home because of fever, chills, headaches, sore throats, congestion and dry coughs.

If you have any of these symptoms, please say home and rest. For relief of symptoms drink plenty of fluids, use a humidifier, gargle warm salt water several times a day, cover your cough, keeps ands away from mouth, nose eyes and take pain Tylenol or Advil as directed for pain and fever. See your doctor if no improvement after three days.

And remember frequent hand washing is most important in preventing the spread of germs. Good hand washing means warm water and soap, and scrubbing for at least 30 seconds....long enough to sing Happy Birthday twice.

Stay Well!!! The Pioneer Nurses, Sarah, Barb and Lynn
