A nurse is providing change-of-shift report for a client. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the report?

This statement should be included in the change-of-shift report because it provides vital information about the patient’s condition and any changes that have occurred to the patient during the shift. Statement B is wrong because it does not provide relevant information about the patient’s current condition or changes that have occurred during the shift. Statement C is wrong because it does not provide relevant information about the patient’s medical condition. Statement D is wrong because it does not provide new information about changes that have occurred during the shift. Change-of-shift reports are key to inpatient care because they provide vital information about and responsibility for the patient from the off-going provider to the on-coming provider.
