Elsie smiled as she put on her gloves and set up her supplies. “I am doing well. Thank you for asking,” she tells him in a sweet voice. “Now I know it is late and you must be tired so let’s get you set up so you can get some rest, okay?” She adds as she takes his arm and sets up his IV. She moves quickly through the procedure with only a small warning of a “quick pinch” as she inserts the needle. Once the IV is set up she moves down by his side to set up the external monitors, having him lift his gown to expose his belly. As she works she makes light conversation getting to know her patient as well as putting him at ease.

When everything is done she covers him with a warm blanket. “You are all set up now. I am going to let you get some sleep now,” she tells him as she double checks that the monitors are working. “I will be able to monitor you and the baby from my station but if you need anything just use the call button. Dr. Foss will be in in a few hours to check on you. In the meantime is there anyone I can call to come stay with you? Anything I can get you? Do you need any pain relief for your wounds?”
