Response Plan: Inpatient nephrology unit
Scenario One: Inpatient nephrology unit
You are the new nurse manager for a busy nephrology medical/surgical
unit in a large university medical center. The renal physicians have
complained that daily weights and intake/output records are not being
completed. This lack of documentation affects the patient’s plan of care
and is resulting in an increased length of stay for the unit. The
night-shift nurses think the day-shift nurses need to do the daily
weights since they have more staffing. The day-shift nurses think the
night-shift needs to do the weights since breakfast arrives during
report most days. No one is consistently recording the intake/output
records. How will you handle this problem?
