NURS 3315 Holistic Health Assessment

Patient Name: John Doe/Jane Doe

Student Name_________________________ Date____________________

Module 5 assignment

(Ecomap and a final SBAR are the required assignments for this module.) The final SBAR must be covering a new problem, different from ones you have covered in previous weeks. It needs to be concerning an individual person in the patient role, and not for instance, a unit, a coworker situation, or piece of equipment. Submit the SBAR on a topic that could occur in the patient population in which you work. If you are not currently working, complete one on a situation you have observed to demonstrate your ability to apply the SBAR concept to a situation. (It can be about an infant, for instance, if you are a NICU nurse.)

Final SBAR

SBAR

Situation

(What is a problem you could encounter in the course of your job? Compose a scenario to answer the following: When did it start, and how severe is it?)

Background

(The evidence—Health history relating to this problem, what is being done, and what assessment findings are most important now.)

Assessment—Name the problem or the direction things may be going (This is not the place for nursing assessment findings—those go under Background—see the Module 1 Kaiser documents.) If the quickest way to name the situation is use a medical diagnosis, that is allowed in an SBAR to facilitate communication—in that state, “It may be ____”.

Recommendation

(What needs to happen next?)
