Reference no: EM133579159

Problem

You have the following clients on your unit:

I. Three are second-day postoperative clients, two of whom require extensive dressing changes, are receiving IV antibiotics, and need to be ambulated.

II. One postoperative client who is required to remain on total bed rest, has a nasogastric tube to suction as well as a chest tube, is on total parenteral nutrition and lipids, needs a central venous catheter line dressing change, has an IV, is taking multiple IV medications, and has a Foley catheter.

III. One client is ready for discharge and needs discharge instruction.

IV. One client needs to be transferred to a subacute unit, and a report must be given to the RN of that unit. Once the latter client is transferred and the other one is discharged, the emergency department will be sending two clients to the unit for admission. Based on this, how should you organize your day? Make a priority list based on ABC plus V method. How would you delegate these assignments to your RN, LVN, MAPs? What would be your rationale?
