Maria Perez is a patient arriving from the Emergency Department (ED) with acute heart failure and confusion. Betty, the licensed practical nurse/licensed vocational nurse (LPN/LVN) who receives the call from the ED, recognizes the patient's name and volunteers to take Maria as a patient. While getting Maria settled, Betty recognizes that this patient needs more care than she expected.
SCENE 2: Betty goes to the RN, Samantha, who is about to see another patient, to express her concern. Betty is correctly notifying the RN of this urgent situation. Betty agrees to administer meds for Samantha so she can see Maria immediately.
