Patient 1: Nancy Jones in room 6310 has an infiltrated IV line. We were unable to start a new line and her ampicillin is due at 8 am.
Patient 2: Justin Foster in room 6314 called for pain medication at 7am so that still needs to be given.

Patient 4: Lenny Williams in room 6307 contacted Laura, the assistive personnel, stating that he’s experienced pain in his right calf; and laura stated that his calf is red.
