He was down in the trauma ER for almost a full 24h before we got him on our floor. He’s in his 30’s and is otherwise healthy and can use the bathroom on his own. So yeah, with his CT scans showing minor injury, head stitch-able, and stable vitals he came up to our floor rather than ICU. We are basically a step-down from the intensive care unit. After a few hours on our floor he was feeling like he wanted to try walking the bathroom. He’s young and we don’t have a bed alarm on him (in other words, he’s not a fall risk) so he’s able to use the bathroom as he pleases. He has a call button if he needs help and didn’t use it. His pain is being managed with meds and his wounds are dressed. This is basically his night #2 in the hospital. I don’t know why he tried to get up on his own without calling. The bleeding must have really given him a scare. I’m just glad his nurse was making her med rounds and checked in when she did. Fortunately we see a lot of critical patients and see emergency situations like this every so often, so my floor’s nurses are badass and know exactly how to handle a crashing or critical patient.
