NWA RCP Monthly Article Review

Participation in The NWA RCP Monthly Article Review is strickly voluntary.
It is designed to help all participants keep-up with current trends
in Respiratory Care.

The Second Meeting will be at the Pontiac Coffee House in Springdale
on June 17th at 7pm. Sam McMillan will chair the second meeting.

RCPs who smoke

Do you think Respiratory Care Practitioners who smoke are disrespectful of their patients?

Patients that smell tobacco smoke on the clothing, hands, or hair of nurses, therapist, pca's and other caregivers should request another professional to care for them.

In Arkansas, Louisiana, and California smoking in an automobile with minors is against the law. Our patients should have the same rights as minors in a car when it comes to Third-Hand smoke.

The residue found in Third-Hand smoke includes, heavy metals, carcinogens and, even radioactive materials that are dangerous to both children and adults.

Isn't it time we protect our customers from the effects of Third-Hand smoke.
