A nurse is preparing to give change-of-shift report on a client who is 2 days postoperative following a total knee arthroscopy. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the report?

A. Preferred bath time is incorrect. While important for comfort and care planning, the preferred bath time is not critical information for change-of-shift report unless directly relevant to immediate care. B. Time of last pain medication is correct. Information about the last dose of pain medication is essential to assess the client’s current pain level and determine if another dose is required. It also helps to plan for ongoing pain management and monitor for signs of over-medication or under-medication. C. Steps required for dressing change is incorrect. While it is important to know the steps for dressing changes, this would typically be included in the written care instructions, not necessarily as part of the verbal change-of-shift report. D. Admission vital signs is incorrect. Admission vital signs are not typically necessary for change-of-shift report unless there has been a significant change in the client’s condition since admission. It is more important to focus on current assessments and interventions.
