The 4 main aims of effective patient observation are: 1. Monitoring of physiological variables to evaluate treatment effects. 2. To maintain thorough assessment of inpatients within a tertiary referral hospital 24 hours a day. 3. Early detection and treatment of post procedural/surgical complications 4. Early detection & treatment of the deteriorating patient via the RPAH Clinical Emergency Response System. https://safetyandquality.gov.au/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/RPA-observations-policy-directive.pdf https://padlet.com/helen_clarke2/nm6efyqthlff/wish/128411126 2016-10-05 08:49:20 UTC https://padlet.com/helen_clarke2/nm6efyqthlff/wish/128411126 Some of the different routine observations that are made in a hospital are Blood pressure, temperature, monitoring pulse and check breathing. These will be repeated so that nurses can monitor the recovery of a patient. https://padlet.com/helen_clarke2/nm6efyqthlff/wish/128411133 https://www.nursingtimes.net/roles/nurse-managers/achieving-best-practice-in-routine-observation-of-hospital-patients/204203.article]]> 2016-10-05 08:49:22 UTC https://padlet.com/helen_clarke2/nm6efyqthlff/wish/128411133 https://padlet.com/helen_clarke2/nm6efyqthlff/wish/128411179 2016-10-05 08:49:34 UTC https://padlet.com/helen_clarke2/nm6efyqthlff/wish/128411179  The effective nursing observation of patients is crucial to patient safety and outcome since this is the first step in identifying signs of clinical concern. Despite significant attention given to the observation of patients and the publication of national guidance to clinical staff, the issue of unrecognised clinical deterioration of patients in hospital continues to be a significant problem. https://padlet.com/helen_clarke2/nm6efyqthlff/wish/128411290 2016-10-05 08:50:15 UTC https://padlet.com/helen_clarke2/nm6efyqthlff/wish/128411290 https://padlet.com/helen_clarke2/nm6efyqthlff/wish/128411747 Routine observation in adults usually involve:

During the time when these observations are being made a carer/ nurse would also assist the patient if they are in need of some help, however they will be looking for signs of anything out of the ordinary in the patient’s personality or in the way they act, if they don’t seem themselves as it may mean that something is wrong and they may need a mental health assessment however it could also be nothing.
