A patient was transferred to the CCU with worsening renal failure, lethargy, and hypercapnia. She was quite ill but expressed that her family brought her joy, especially her new grandchild. The patient showed her nurse, Helene, many pictures as care was being provided. Helene, being a new mother herself, navigated the patient through a CVS website where photos could be printed. Photos were placed for printing but CVS does not deliver this type of order. After her shift, Helene drove to the CVS and picked up the order.
