Congratulations to DAISY Award winner Kim Leonard, RN, with our IU Health Morgan Surgical Services Pre-Op/PACU team!

Kim helps prepare patients for procedures and supports them through recovery and believes education is one of the most important ways nurses can provide comfort and care.

“Many times, patients are nervous or don’t quite understand what is happening,” she shares. “It’s important to educate and explain things using simple terms. Empowering patients with knowledge in a way they understand helps put them at ease.”

Research from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission shows about 74% of firework-related injuries happen in the weeks before and after July 4. The National Fire Protection Association reports that most of the thousands of people injured while using consumer fireworks over the holiday are children or teenagers.

“To our community members, I encourage you to be safe while enjoying this holiday,” said Robert (Bob) Adams, DO, IU Health Bloomington Emergency Medicine physician. “While Emergency departments and first responders are here to help, we know you’d much rather be enjoying the festivities instead of coming into the hospital because of an injury or medical issue.”

It's going to be another hot day in south-central Indiana, and local Emergency departments are prepared to see more heat-related issues coming through their doors.

Here are some safety tips:
• Stay hydrated with water.
• For children, encourage frequent water intake and have it readily available. Infants under six months should not drink water; breast milk or formula will help their hydration.
• Dress lightly in both color and material.
• Plan to have extra rest time when outside.
• Use water to cool off. Water mists or safe swimming are great ways to cool the skin.
• Never leave a child alone in a car for any time.

Emergency medicine physician Robert Adams, DO, and pediatrician Jeremy Mescher, MD, have share additional helpful information for you to stay safe during these hot days in this article: https://iuhealth.org/thrive/beat-the-heat
