The frequency of reevaluation depends on the patient's condition, the setting, and the interventions being used. In acute care settings, reevaluation may occur hourly, while in long-term care, it may be less frequent. Key times to reevaluate include:
After significant changes in the patient's condition. Following the administration of new treatments or medications. At scheduled intervals as part of routine care. When the patient expresses new concerns or symptoms.
