The video features a nurse named Kari giving a transfer report over the phone to Esther regarding a patient named Janet Lieberman. Janet is a 36-year-old woman with a history of Crohn’s disease and had surgery resulting in an ileostomy. She came to the ED feeling weak and dizzy and had traces of serosanguineous effluent in her ostomy bag upon arrival. Janet is typed and cross-matched for two units of packed RBCs, which should be administered as soon as they are available. Her vital signs were given, and her hemoglobin and hematocrit levels are low. Esther asks Kari about the coagulation tests, and they were within normal range. Kari then brings Janet up to Esther’s unit, and Esther takes over her care. Esther asks Janet questions about her abdominal status and her pain level, and they discuss stress management techniques. Esther also checks Janet’s bowel sounds.
