Eva Grace was caring for a young gentleman who was being treated for an abscess. The patient had been taking multiple doses of narcotics and IV antibiotics. Without warning, the patient developed a reaction to either the antibiotic or the narcotic. Eva Grace was able to implement her advance knowledge of allergy and anaphylaxis to determine that the patient was not having a mild reaction, but delayed onset anaphylaxis. She then advocated for the patient to receive the care necessary, which ultimately led to the patient having a positive outcome from what could have been a catastrophic situation. The significant other of the patient later commented that it was a "gift from God" that Eva Grace was assigned to the patient at the time of the event and that in their opinion she gave exceptional care that far exceeded expectations.
Since this event, she has worked to provide the staff with the latest guidelines on the treatment of anaphylaxis in an effort to improve the quality of care for all patients at SNHHS.
