I would like to nominate Patrick Lopez, a dedicated and observant first-semester nursing student, for the DAISY Award for his exceptional attentiveness and quick action in a critical situation. While caring for a patient, he recognized significant signs of a potential stroke, including facial drooping, decreased eye movement, pupil changes, and weakened hand grips. Understanding the urgency of these symptoms, Patrick promptly informed the nurse on duty, leading to a swift stroke alert activation. His keen assessment skills and knowledge of neurological signs, remarkable for a first-semester student, played a crucial role in ensuring the patient received immediate intervention. Patrick's actions reflect his commitment to patient safety and his potential as an outstanding nurse. He exemplifies compassion, vigilance, and dedication to providing quality care, making him an excellent candidate for the DAISY Award.
