whats this called? nurses relieve each other from shift to shift, they pass report?

Answer 1

It's called shift Report and it's very important. It's where you Tell the oncoming Nurse what the patient is Being Treated for and what is working and what is not for the patient. Its a lot like playing telephone!if you don't convey the message correctly then you have problems with patient care. there are a lot of details they have to go over.

Answer 2

To the best of my knowledge, it's called report. Generally, the first out of report are the nursing assistants. They begin taking vitals for the next shift. While this is happening the unit clerk is fielding the patients calls. When the two groups (ending shift and beginning shift) end the nurses begin down the hall to access their patients and pass meds.
For the patient this is a most difficult time to have a need.

Answer 3

It's called end of shift report. There is no real term for it. You just report off to the the next shift.

Answer 4

Change of shift, where you give report on your patients to the oncoming nurse.

Answer 5

'hand over'. Morning staff report on their patient's to the afternoon staff. Likewise afternoon to night duty. Included is patient name diagnosis past history, caring doctor, allergies. Vital signs. Fluid status. Respiratory support. neurological status. Nutritional status, i.e nasogastric feeds,mobility and help in bathing/dressing and care for their significant others and discharge plan.
Morning handover is often more detailed then night to morning. You can have a walk around hand over where the nurse gives bed side report but I feel this is unreliable and intrusive for the patient.

Answer 6

It's called change of shift.
You brief your relief on all your patients - room, name, doctor, diagnosis, surgery, change in condition; tests, labs, x-rays, and physical therapy, plus your meds, treatments, IVs, etc.
Who needs help with a bath, who needs help eating, who is on oxygen/ventilator/resp therapy, and on and on.
This is a very simplified version.
