A patient was admitted to ICU with Respiratory Failure and Pneumonia from inhalation of a foreign substance. Alina followed up with the patient's family by asking them to bring in the suspected containers. She then took a picture of the containers with her IPhone and sent it to the Poison Control Center for identification of the products; and successfully helped in changing therapy for the patient.
