| | Martin Romo, RN 5th Floor Med/Surg Kaiser Permanente Sacramento Medical Center, Sacramento, California |
Martin was nominated by a patient:
"I was admitted Friday, June 26th with Prostatitis, Acute. During the early morning of Saturday, at approximately 3 am, I woke up soaked and wet, bedding all wet from apparently a fever. Martin was called and he immediately gave me a bed bath, brief massage, and replaced the bedding. He checked my vital areas etc. He stayed with me the next hour or so to assure I was out of any danger. Martin was very compassionate during this incident knowing I was concerned whether I was having any serious problem. I am a congestive heart failure patient. An hour later, I woke up again with the same wetness. Martin immediately repeated what he had accomplished previously. Martin realized I was becoming very concerned and began asking all sorts of questions about what was going on in my body. Martin, with his RN skills, experience and bedside manners, put me at ease. Martin is credited with making my recovery a pleasant one."
