Kelly Cahalin was the nurse who recently took care of all the behavioral health patients (5). One of the patients she was taking care of was a patient of size. He was combative the previous night, so when Kelly came on shift, she started to develop a rapport with this patient. As the morning progressed, this patient was having incontinence episodes. Kelly helped clean this patient multiple times throughout the morning, and the patient was very appreciative. After a couple of episodes, Kelly offered this patient a shower, and she helped clean this patient. Kelly went above and beyond for this patient. This was very apparent as the patient was sparkling clean and he was very appreciative of the care that Kelly provided. Nice work, Kelly!!
