What are the Different Types of Nursing Handovers?
Nursing handovers can be categorized into several types:
1. Verbal Handover: This is the most common type, where information is verbally communicated between nurses. 2. Written Handover: Information is documented and passed on in written form. 3. Bedside Handover: This involves the outgoing and incoming nurses discussing the patient's condition at the bedside, often involving the patient in the process. 4. Recorded Handover: Information is recorded and then played back to the incoming nurse.
