Samuel Todd, '25, received the Hospital-wide Quality Star Award from Mary Washington Healthcare in Fredericksburg, Va., for preventing a system-wide "near miss." While caring for a patient, he noticed that the IV was becoming cloudy and became suspicious of the mixture. He checked the data on the medication regarding IV compatibility and found no contraindications. Trusting his intuition, Todd decided to take the entire IV set to the pharmacist, who eventually found that Todd was correct. This resulted in a system-wide alert throughout the hospital regarding the incompatibility, immediate changes in administration practices and a notification to the drug manufacturer. Todd has only been a Registered Nurse for a year and a half and has already been nominated seven times for the DAISY Award for extraordinary and compassionate nursing care. 🩺
