The patient stated 25 minutes after sitting there the nurse asked if she was ok, so she went out for fresh air that day it was not hot in the hospital but the temperature was around 60 on Sunday so it was really nice weather and she went outside for a fresh breath of air for 5 minutes, stayed took off mask, and felt relieved.
