The task

Mabel Shaw has become less settled during the afternoon. Review her care record and complete a focused update before handing over to RN Casey. Her daughter Ruth is present and the on-call GP is reachable.

What this station tests

  • Acute fluctuation and inattention require delirium assessment.
  • Collateral baseline information helps distinguish a new change.
  • Bladder, medicines, pain and sensory needs belong in the nursing handover.
