You are caring for a patient who has a history of Crohn's disease. She gets severe abdominal cramps and uses a heating pad at home for the pain. She is very fair with freckles and red hair; she is also 11 weeks pregnant. Your facility often uses a heating pack that is self-contained and temperature regulated to avoid burns. There is no order for this, nor is it in her care plan. You tell her you will speak to the nurse. The patient tells you the facility system is not good enough; it does not get hot enough anyway. She will have her husband bring in her own. Is this acceptable?
