He did not want to stay in the room he was assigned to in the emergency department at UCHealth Memorial Hospital North.<\/p>\n<p>A dose of creativity and kindness from Patrick Baron, a charge nurse at MHN, changed all that. In no time, the agitated patient was happy as a clam.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe was not happy sitting in the bed. He was a fall risk and kept triggering the fall alarm, and he didn\u2019t like the noise,\u201d Baron said. The patient, who had been in the ED for two days, recognized Baron but had trouble following instructions. Bottom line, he was determined to leave his bed.<\/p>\n<p>At the time, the ED was extremely busy and keeping eyes on the patient posed challenges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe didn\u2019t want him to fall and bump his head,\u201d Baron said.<\/p>\n<p>So Baron came up with a plan.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of trying to keep the patient in his room, Baron brought him into the nurses\u2019 station and sat him down in his chair. Baron gave him snacks and drinks and provided activities to keep him entertained. The patient settled right in. After chatting with nurses and having a bite to eat, the content fella requested a beer with his turkey sandwich dinner.<\/p>\n<p>The relieved staff didn&#8217;t raise a glass, but cheered him on while the snacks kept coming. The turnaround, Baron said, was \u201ctherapeutic and helpful for him to interact with the staff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Staff benefited too when Baron had turned the stressful situation around. &#8220;It was good for them to see him happy rather than having to chemically or physically restrain the patient,\u201d Baron said.<\/p>\n<p>Being around people turned out to be the remedy for improving the patient&#8217;s well-being.<\/p>\n<p>One of Baron\u2019s coworkers joked: \u201cIt looks like we have a new charge nurse!\u201d upon seeing the patient sitting in Baron\u2019s chair.<\/p>\n<p>Baron\u2019s crew likes to keep spirits light at work.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe talk a lot and we all cheer each other on. We confide in one another and keep each other positive,\u201d said Baron.<\/p>\n<p>And that&#8217;s good medicine.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><div class=\"su-row\">\n<div class=\"su-column su-column-size-2-3 su-column-centered\"><div class=\"su-column-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif;color: #930718\">You Make Extraordinary Possible<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\">Together, we recognize and honor the qualities within ourselves by shining a spotlight on how each and every one of us improve lives in big ways and small.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/uchealthpoints.isrewards.com\/Recognition\/Award\/FormFlex.aspx?pr=JAwX5qZPSOA=&#038;m=N\" class=\"su-button su-button-style-flat\" style=\"color:#FFFFFF;background-color:#A22343;border-color:#821c36;border-radius:56px\" target=\"_self\"><span style=\"color:#FFFFFF;padding:0px 26px;font-size:20px;line-height:40px;border-color:#be657c;border-radius:56px;text-shadow:none\"> Share a story<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"center\"><span style=\"font-family: 'Arial',sans-serif\"><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transforming a stressful situation with ingenuity, kindness and a turkey sandwich The patient, an elderly man with dementia, was not a happy camper.
