PATIENT ASSESSMENT


Updated 5/25

Patient assessment is the responsibility of every nurse.

 

Scenario: Nick is a 21 year old male, who was on his way 
to work , when he became involved in a head on collision.
Someone called 911 and paramedics arrived on scene, to
resuscitate him. See link below.




Scenario: The patient above, was in respiratory distress
and placed  on mechanical ventilation. It is difficult
for the patient on a ventilator to describe pain. Knowing
how to assess is very important.
