What's Included?
Initial visit:
A registered nurse completes a home visit for a 2-hour comprehensive assessment and environmental screening, with a holistic approach. A holistic nursing assessment focuses on more than physical condition. It evaluates psychological, spiritual, and social status as well because these factors are all intertwined to make up a whole person.
A physical exam with vital signs is completed and medical history is obtained so there is a clear understanding of the current and past health conditions. This identifies needs and risks correctly.
All medication including prescription, over the counter, and supplements are reviewed. Determining the optimal medication regimen can be a delicate balance. The combination of medication and dose needs to be just right to have the desired effect and reduce the chance of side effects or adverse effects.
The medication review may result in recommendations to address with your physician, or an assessment to verify the client is capable of self-administration of medication is completed. The registered nurse may fill pill boxes for the client regularly and continue to educate the client to achieve the highest level of independence.
