Core Nursing Skills

How we approach the assessment and management of the patient with deterioration may significantly determine their chances of survival, risk for complications and long term disability. In this topic we look at the clinical findings that signal clinical deterioration and developing threats to the life of the individual and then explore the critical thinking required to assess and intervene in these patients.

The five modules in the course explore the following topics :

• 1. Systems for recognising clinical deterioration

• 2. Communication and handover of clinical Information

• 3. Procedure for assessing the patient with deterioration

• 4. Recognising immediate threats to the airway, breathing, circulation and CNS

• 5. Resuscitation of the deteriorating patient with life threatening illness

• 6. The role of critical thinking in diagnosis of the deteriorating patient

At the completion of the course it is our aim that you will confident to identify the early clues to deterioration, aided by the track and trigger system that has been implemented in your health setting and be able to (within your scope of practice) initiate assessment and intervention in the patient with clinical features of deterioration.
