CCS MNEMONIC : Basic Orders on patient admission

Don't forget these basic orders if you admit a patient on a CCS case. For that matter, first of all, do not forget to have the patient sent to the inpatient floor after you are done stabilizing the patient who showed up with an emergency and needs continuing observation or Intravenous fluids / Drugs. This is important - you will tend to forget and is a common error.
