Red-Flag Triage, Delegation, SBAR and the Chart

A finding only matters if it turns into an action. Triage cardiovascular findings into routine, notify, or rapid response and see exactly what the miss would have cost. Decide what may be handed to unlicensed personnel and what never leaves the RN. Then build a real SBAR call from a deteriorating heart-failure patient and get it scored, and rewrite a vague note into one that could be defended.
Read the finding. Decide what happens in the next five minutes.
