Nurses implement risk stratification through a combination of assessment tools and clinical judgment. The process generally involves:
1. Initial Assessment: Collecting comprehensive data on the patient’s health status. 2. Risk Calculation: Using tools and indices to determine the patient’s risk level. 3. Care Planning: Developing a personalized care plan based on the patient’s risk profile. 4. Monitoring: Continuously monitoring the patient’s condition and adjusting the care plan as needed.
