With elderly residents, critical deterioration in health status can occur rapidly. Make sure your staff understand their essential obligation to report changes.

This DVD provides a checklist directing nursing assistants to: always take vital signs; check for changes in physical, functional and emotional status; and, to know each resident as a person. This program provides tips on how to check for health deterioration in non-verbal patients as well.
