Registered Nurse Evaluation and Monitoring
All new clients are welcomed to Atlantic AllCare’s family and services by a
Registered Nurse. A complete medical history is gathered to include a list
of all medications and treating physicians. Assessment of the home
environment is done for
possible
modifications and/or equipment needs to enhance safety and promote
independence. Nutritional assessment and dietary teaching is done to enhance
and promote optimal health and well being. Physical assessment is done to
include vital signs, heart, lung, abdomen, skin checks, difficulties with
balance, mobility, dietary needs as well as needs for assistance with
shopping and transportation. With the data obtained, the Registered Nurse
develops a plan of care with the client and/or family members to assure all
needs medically, personally and socially will be met.
