David advocated heavily for a severely psychotic teenager. He collaborated with other nurses, techs, doctors to not only advocate for this acute patient to be placed in an inpatient bed, but also to integrate this patient back into the milieu in order to get him out of the isolation of a quiet room where he had been for several days.
