Brooke Gentry, Patient is a 34 y/o G5P4 who gave birth to a 9lb. 3 oz male infant following a 12-hour elective oxytocin induction of labor. She had an uncomplicated labor, epidural anesthesia and a rapid second stage, no episiotomy or perineal lacerations. Indwelling urinary catheter was removed prior to delivery. She is now one hour postpartum and is breastfeeding her baby.

Arthur Harris is a 59-year-old African American male with a history of type 2 diabetes. He was directly admitted from his provider’s office with an infected sacral wound, which developed several months ago while on bed rest following an ankle sprain. He reports a history of depression, currently exacerbated by the death of his wife 6 months ago. Since admission, Arthur has received wound care, antibiotic therapy, and IV pain medications. He has also been receiving correction scale insulin coverage with meals, though his appetite has been poor and he has not been eating well.  Arthur Harris’ friend calls out from the room that Arthur is unresponsive. Arthur is lying supine in bed. His IV is pulled out and fluid is running into a puddle on the floor. What is your priority assessment?
