What are the Key Components of Narrative Charting?
The key components of narrative charting generally include:
- Patient Status: A detailed account of the patient's current condition, including vital signs, symptoms, and any changes in status. - Nursing Actions: A description of the interventions performed, including medications administered, treatments provided, and patient education. - Patient Response: An account of how the patient responded to the interventions, including any improvements or deterioration in condition. - Follow-Up Care: Information on any further assessments or interventions that are planned or required.
