CNA113 - Change in Condition (0.5 HR)
The nursing assistant will have a better understanding of his/her role in observing for and reporting changes in condition to the charge nurse.
Nursing assistants are recognized across the United States as the persons who provide direct, hands-on care for persons served in a variety of settings, including: home health, long-term care/assisted living, and hospice. Because of that daily direct care, nursing assistants are often the first person to recognize that something is not quite right with the individual being cared for. When this happens, we call it a change of condition. This course will expand on the role of the nursing assistant in observing for and reporting changes in condition to the charge nurse.
Objectives:
1. Differentiate between subjective and objective data.
2. Discuss reporting that must be done immediately.
