Ron is a 72-year old male one day after TURP surgery. The procedure went without complications. Pain is well controlled but his heart rate is up and he has a fever. After dinner he was wandering in the hallway, looking for his wife. He becomes very agitated and angry when the team tells him she went home without him as she has to work tomorrow.
