Reporting

Communicating changes in client status up the chain of command.

Reporting communicates changes in client status up the chain of command so they can be acted on quickly. The PN reports changes in vital signs, mental status, level of consciousness, or pain to the RN first, who escalates to the provider as needed. Timely, accurate reporting is essential for client safety and continuity of care.
