Britney was able to change a patient's life during her physical assessment. She was the first person to listen to a patient's concerns about her foot, identifying that the patient had an acute change in sensation and was having severe pain. Due to Britney listening to her patient, she was able to alert her clinical instructor to her assessment findings and that her patient's foot was cold and had no palpable pulses. They were able to get a doppler, identify there was no blood flow to the patient's foot and alert the staff RN who promptly called the surgical service. The RN was caught up in another patient's room and had not been able to assess the patient yet. Because Britney stopped to listen to her patient, the patient was able to be taken emergently to the OR and have her leg saved.
