They are concerned enough about Mary's overall condition that they have moved her to a monitoring unit. This is between a post surgical unit (5 patients per nurse and aide) and ICU. In a monitoring unit, its no more than 3 patients per nurse. And, she is plugged into so much high tech gear you'd think she was an astronaut under test or something.
Her welcoming party consisted of two RNs who were double checking everything. New dressinges, fresh gown, confirming all the connections, etc. They also installed sensors for the various monitoring units--it is a monitoring section of the hospital, is it not?
As for Mary, she is still not very cognizant. She does respond to her name but does not talk in sentences and often doesn't respond to questions asked of her. Yeah, its not a good sign that they moved her here. It is good that they have this capability.
