With the focus of many care plans being funding driven, often required care for residents with heart failure is not included.
Remember, if it is not written it is not done!
The nursing authority is interested in your practice, not the amount of funding you receive.
Content includes:
• overview/refresher of pathophysiology of heart failure
• the various presentations of heart failure
• hospital avoidance with staff management or self management!
