Atchison nurse pleads guilty to over-drugging dementia patient

LEAVENWORTH, KS (AP) - An Atchison nurse who texted a co-worker a picture of a dementia patient slumped over in a wheelchair and then suggested she was responsible and deserved thanks has pleaded guilty to intentionally administering the wrong medication.

The Kansas City Star reports that 37-year-old Jennifer Lynn Reavis is free on bond as she awaits sentencing on charges of endangerment, unlawful administration of a controlled substance and battery.

She pleaded guilty to the charges Friday in Leavenworth County District Court.
