A comprehensive check-in should cover multiple aspects:
- Vital Signs: Regular monitoring of vital signs like blood pressure, heart rate, and temperature is crucial. - Pain Assessment: Evaluate the patient’s pain levels using appropriate pain scales and address any discomfort. - Medication Review: Ensure that the patient is receiving the correct medications and dosages. - Mobility and Comfort: Assess the patient’s mobility and comfort, assisting with repositioning or mobility aids if needed. - Mental and Emotional Well-Being: Check on the patient’s mental and emotional state, offering support and addressing any concerns they may have.
