Nursing assessment. The key to quality patient care. Adjuncts to assessment
Description
The nurse often serves as the eyes and ears of the patient's healthcare team, as he or she has the most frequent direct and prolonged patient contact. This frequent contact is a primary reason it is important for a nurse to be highly adept at patient assessment. A detailed assessment is part of every initial contact and is often referred to as the intake or admission assessment. This program demonstrates and describes the characteristic approach and "tools" used in a system-based assessment of a patient. This clip lists other sources of information which allow for a more complete assessment.
