Mouth Jewelery in Hospital Patients

By Jacque Mitchell posted 03-30-2015 02:18 PM

  
Does anyone have any policies on mouth jewelry for hospital patients? I know the surgery departments has a process - but how about your regular nonsurgical patient ?  We have had difficulties with patients who need emergent  intubation - only to find out problems with the "large" piece of jewelry in their mouth.  Do you require that they remove it or sign a waiver? Any suggestions are welcome?  Thanks in advance.
