It sounds like it would to me. We need to
evaluate the "program". It doesn't specify where, so if it is routinely on
your wound documentation, that sounds fine.

PROGRAM
On our residents that have wounds, we have wound rounds weekly, and the
nurses write an evaluation on the wound careplan weekly. Would it be
sufficient if they also documented on the wound careplan sheet their
evaluation of the turning and repositioning? Would that meet the new
revision requirements?
Thanks, Nancy

So, if we have it in the CP interventions and staff are doing

it??
Nancy,
If you have identified which residents would
benefit from a turn and repositioning program, have gotten the orders, and
have the nurses documenting daily on the treatment sheet that the resident
was , in fact, turned every 2 hours, then you are ready for the monitoring
and evaluating process. The nurses should monitor whether the
program is successful for the resident--is the skin intact, etc.
Evaluate the program in your weekly/monthly summaries and determine if
turning every 2 hours is sufficient. Some residents require q 1hour
turning and others can tolerate going 4 hours at night to benefit their
sleep patterns.

PROGRAM
I have a question about the revision to the manual about turning
and repositioning. Now it states a "program" that is organized,
planned, documented, monitored, and evaluated. How is everyone
going about this? Up to this point we've had an order to "turn and
reposition q2 hrs" that is on the TAR and the nurses are signing off on
it. What else needs to be included , now, according to the
revision?
Thanks, Nancy
