Nurse Visit
"VISIT WITH OUR REGISTERED NURSES ON TUESDAYS!"
What Is A Nurse Visit?
A Nurse Visit is an alternative to a regular appointment with the practitioner. It is led by a registered nurse (RN) and appropriate for simple or straightforward problems that don't require a detailed evaluation by the APRN.
Here's a more detailed look at what a nursing visit entails:
Assessment:
The RN will evaluate the patient's health status, including vital signs, a focused assessment, and collect any specimens if needed.
Monitoring:
The RN will monitor the patient's condition, looking for changes or signs of improvement or deterioration.
Patient Education:
Patients and their families will be provided information on their conditions, possible treatment, and self-care techniques.
Coordination of Care:
The RN will work with the health practitioner to ensure a coordinated approach to care.
Services appropriate for a nursing visit include:
- Pregnancy testing (urine sample)
- Urinalysis for urinary discomfort
- STD screening (rapid or regular)
- Blood pressure monitoring
- Cholesterol screening
- Condom distribution
- Diabetic screening
- Dressing changes
