Okay, let's say we have a patient.
00:02
So our patient, this is our patient, and our patient has been showing signs of increasing difficulty swallowing.
00:12
And so the patient's nurse, let's say this is the patient's nurse, the patient's nurse sees this and suggests that the patient starts on a pureed diet.
00:20
The patient starts on the pureed diet, does not like it at all, and decides that they would rather risk choking on solid food than continue eating the pureed food.
00:29
Food and so because of this the patient now requires assistance nursing assistance as they eat so she refuses puree diet and so now the nurse has to consider what documents can they consult in order to get guidance for the patient's continued treatment so the question we're looking at today is what documents to consult now the nurse can look at numerous documents to gain better insight on the patient's medical history as well as the road forward and what the nurse can do to accommodate the patient a little bit better.
01:07
So the first one is the patient's medical records.
01:10
So the patient's medical records can help the nurse to understand the severity of the patient's difficulty swallowing and give the the nurse a clearer picture of the patient's medical conditions and any potential risks involved with feeding continuing to feed the patient solid food.
01:29
The nurse can also choose to look at the hospital's procedures and policies...
