Recognising and Responding to Acute Deterioration

Managing the deteriorating patient is a challenge for even the most experienced of nurses and the ability to recognise changes in a patients’ condition is a vital skill for nurses. It is important to be able to recognise the warning signs and respond appropriately to achieve the best possible outcomes.

This module has been developed as an educational tool to help improve awareness of the deteriorating patient. Participants enrolled in this module should always manage patients within their scope of practice and work within local policies and practices. This module is suitable for nurses working in any environment, not only in acute care facilities
