SUCCESS!
•
83 year old woman hospitalized multiple times for Dehydration. Nursing
home and family could not get her to drink water. PPH Nurse Sandra
Clark went to visit and took her a gift…an insulated cup with a rubberized
grip, personalized just for her. The patient’s hands could grip the cup
without it slipping, and it had a drinking spout and place for a straw. The
Nurse talked with her about the importance of drinking water so she
would not have to go back in the hospital. The patient has not been
hospitalized again for Dehydration in the last
8 months.
NOT THE END
Just the beginning
For a healthier
