Your CNAs make observations about their clients all day long. Therefore, it’s incredibly important that each of your CNAs know what, when and how to report what they see. Not only should your nurse aides know the procedure for reporting and documenting client care, they should also be aware of what observations are considered abnormal. After completing our new inservice topic, “Recognizing and Reporting Abnormal Observations”, your nurse aides will be able to:
- Distinguish between normal and abnormal observations in their clients.
- Identify the specific course of action to take with each abnormal observation they may encounter.
- List at least three abnormal observations they might make in regards to: vital signs, mental status, nutrition and pain.
- Distinguish between objective and subjective observations.
- Demonstrate the ability to recognize and properly report abnormal observations in their daily work.
