for the patient on the intensive care unit (icu) who sustained a motor vehicle crash, which action would the nurse implement to keep the patient's large family informed of the patient's status and decrease the number of status checks by the family?

Respuesta :

The best course of action the nurse should take to inform the patient's vast family of their condition is to ask the patient to designate a spokesman who will speak with the providers.

The best strategy to ensure that the patient's family is informed as soon as possible is to request that they appoint a spokesperson to facilitate communication between the patient's family and the medical staff. It is not appropriate to ask the family to check at the end of the shift because this is the worst time to learn about the patient owing to communication between caregivers as they switch changes. The family will not be able to stay informed of the patient's present condition by asking the doctor to schedule a patient-care conference for them. It is improper to ask security to accompany the family to the main lobby.

Hence, we can state that the patient should choose a spokesperson who will speak with the providers.
