Nursing Report Sheet
This Nurse Report Sheet can be used by nursing staff during ward or room visits. Start by entering the patient's general information. Next, record diagnosis and the medical history. It is also important to take note any allergy and special conditions. The template then prompts the user to record vital signs of the patient such as blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and blood sugar. Med passes should also be recorded to ensure that medicines are dispensed accordingly. Document the patient's food intake during breakfast, lunch, or supper. Lastly, write down any future procedure needed to inform the next nurses-on duty. Complete the report by providing a digital signature. Use SafetyCulture to perform digital patient checks with the use of your handheld device. You may also customize this template based on your needs.
