Father O, a Catholic priest, was admitted to your facility’s surgical unit following a major gastric resection. He performed his preoperative preparation at home and reportedly, was in good spirits while on the way to the Operating Room. His vital signs on admission were blood pressure (BP) 122/82 mm Hg, temperature 37C (98.6F), heart rate (HR) 70, respirations 12, and oxygen saturation 98%. Father O. received IV morphine in the Operating Room to prevent immediate pain. Since then, he has received Demerol injections; he consistently asks for them more frequently than they are ordered.
