Question

how might the student monitor the processes he or she has experienced? what types of data would be useful? describe variations and possible causes of variations in the care processes.

Answer 1

Ans) The student should monitor her living conditions and her ability to remember to take her medications on time. Her case history and number of pills dispensed and taken to see if she is compliant or not. This patient should be living in a monitored area like a nursing home or she should have home health aide.
The four core processes of patient care are:
1 - Assessing the patient's needs-
2 – Planning care, treatment, and services-
3 - Providing care, treatment, and services
4 - Coordinating care, treatment, and services
Initial assessment determines the patient's appropriateness for admission to the facility and the level of care to be rendered.
