UNIT two: STRATEGIES FOR PROFESSIONAL PRACTICEII. Time Management B. Shift Hand Off Report, Assignments, Making Patient Care Rounds
SHIFT HAND OFF REPORT & ASSIGNMENTS • BEFORE A PLAN is made for the shift, THE SHIFT HAND-OFF REPORT can lead to a smooth and effective start to the new shift. • WORST CASE SCENARIO: leaves the oncoming shift with inadequate or old data on which to base their plan • JOINT COMMISSION included a standardized approach as one of it’s patient safety goals as far back as 2006 • Given face to face seated or walking
DATA COLLECTION • How will you collect data differently? • How will you organize your data differently? • In the precepted clinical you will be using the Data Collection Form found on the NRS 240 course information part of the following web site: • http://www.mccc.edu/~martinl/
MAKING PATIENT CARE ROUNDS • Oncoming nurse needs to make initial rounds on the patients at risk for life threatening conditions or complications first performing rapid assessments • CHANGES COME UP: eg: a pt with asthma who had been calm and without respiratory distress on the previous shift may have experienced a visitor who wrote perfume and delivered bad news. As the nurse makes a quick ABC’S assessment it is determined that the pt has suddenly developed respiratory distress. Nurse has to be flexible and change priorities from providing comfort needs to providing life threatening nursing interventions
