I had a dying patient that was drowning in secretions. I contacted hospice to get a medication to help. I worked day shift. It came in on night shift. That medication came in but it wasn't opened. When I got to work the next morning the man was drowning in secretions and suffering in secretions. NO COMFORT MEDS WERE GIVEN. That nurse is Tina Petts
