brent tate, RN

We had a non ambulatory patient in the ER who lived alone. It was obvious that this patient had not had a bath in several months. He had stool all over and he could not get to his feet and other areas to get cleaned. Most people would have given a bed bath to get their patient cleaned, but Brent took this patient up to the floor to take a shower. But the patient could not stand so he lifted him up and placed him on a shower chair. After washing his front he then got into the shower with the patient and lifted him up while a 2nd person washed his back. He showed an abundance of caring and compassion. It is my pleasure to nominate Brent for the DAISY Award.
