Tip for Hospice Nurses: these are the steps I follow when assessing a patient for signs of life: 1. Auscultate for heart tones over the PMI for 90 seconds 2. Auscultate for Heart tones over the mid-sternal area for 90 seconds 3. Palpate for carotid, brachial and femoral pulse, each for 90 seconds 4. Check for pupillary response 5. Check for corneal reflex It is important to completely document that you performed each step above, and the results of each. #hospice #forhospicenurses #hospicenurses #hospicenurse #hospicetraining #nurseeducation #nursetraining #death #deathvisit #hospicedeathvisit #endoflife

Tip for Hospice Nurses: continuing with my series on documenting normal findings to support eligibility - when your patient is ambulatory instead of saying “patient ambulatory” follow these steps: 1. Start the sentence with a negative descriptor. 2. Focus on what the pt cannot do vs what they can do. 3. Do not restate normal findings in your Nurse’s Note. It takes a lot of practice to document accurate findings in a way that supports hospice eligibility.

Tips for Hospice Nurses: below are a few tips to keep your pts with catheters comfortable. The 4th one is a bonus tip not discussed in the video. 1. Use the smallest diameter possible. 12-14 French are the most common. 2. Use the smallest balloon (5cc) possible to reduce the risk of bladder spasms. 3. Use a Foley stay - place it so that there is plenty of slack so the catheter is not putting pressure on the urethra. 4. Changing the catheter when there is not an issue is not always best practice and can actually cause an issue - assess the pt carefully and communicate with the doctor well before replacing a functioning catheter. When appropriate, catheters can provide a lot of comfort to your hospice patient and their caregiver. Ya’ll be safe out there!
