darlene mullins, RN

Darlene Mullins had a patient who had been receiving IV antibiotics at home and who was recently hospitalized. The patient had been taught to administer his own meds at home with a tubing extension. During hospitalization, the extension was removed. The patient is managed care and has only a limited amount of visits approved. When Darlene learned that he needed extension tubing added and a new clave on the end, she arranged to meet him at the hospital when he came in for a test at Diagnostic Imaging and added the extension and clave for him. She did this on her own time, as an act of compassion.
