Preparation is crucial for effective home visits. Nurses typically:
1. Review Patient Records: Understand the patient's medical history, current treatments, and any special needs. 2. Plan the Visit: Determine the objectives of the visit, such as specific assessments or treatments. 3. Gather Supplies: Ensure they have all the necessary equipment and supplies. 4. Communication: Inform the patient and caregivers about the visit and what to expect.
