Good day!
I’m Lea Mae Andoloy from 202n possible infections from health care provider to
and for today I’m going to demonstrate the
proper way to do the home visit.
So, what is home visit it is a health service that
has been given at home for patient, family and
the community in general it allows the nurse to
assess the home family situations in order to
provide the necessary nursing care and health
counseling.
To start with the knowledge, state the purpose
of home visit, use appropriate terms, states
steps of the procedure in correct order and
explains the rationale of every step.
So, for the skills greet the patient for the
rationale to build rapport trust of the patient.
Next is state the purpose of the home visit and
introduce yourself and state the reason of the
procedure for the rationale is to reduce the
anxiety that the patients may feel and can
foster cooperation.
After stating the purpose and introducing
myself I would now proceed to inquire about
the health and welfare of the client and other
family members for the rationale is to
Now I would place my chn bag on the table or
flat surface at least 6 feet away from the
bedside for the rationale is to save time and
effort.
Next is wash hands and perform the nursing
care or treatment for the rationale is to avoid
the transmission of microorganism or any
the client.
And after washing my hands I can now
proceed to render the physical assessment by
identifying household members and the health
care that they need for the rationale is to obtain
baseline data for nursing care.
Next is after the procedure that has been
made, clean or disinfect all the articles that has
been used for the rationale is to avoid
transmission of infection also to protect
yourself as well.
After that record the findings, such as date,
your observation of the care or treatment,
health teachings and render reporting for the
documentation purposes for the rationale is for
the client to have a record on the given
procedure that has been done and for the legal
purposes.
Additionally, you may also give a specific
instruction for the importance of health
teaching, health counseling and comfort
measures to ensure the appropriate nursing
care hence to minimize the sick in the family
members for the rationale is to prioritize the
given health care needs and recognize by the
family itself.
And also, set or make an appointment for the
next home visit or follow up visit to a clinic for
the rationale is to facilitate continuity of the
nurse client relationship.
And lastly, summarize the teachings made or
important reminders before bidding good bye
and thank the visit for the rationale is to have a
legal purposes and references for care.
