A
Assessment
This is what I think the problem is: <say what you think is the problem>
The problem seems to be cardiac infection neurologic respiratory _____
I am not sure what the problem is but the patient is deteriorating.
The patient seems to be unstable and may get worse, we need to do something.
R
Recommendation
I suggest or request that you <say what you would like to see done>.
transfer the patient to critical care
come to see the patient at this time.
Talk to the patient or family about code status.
Ask the on-call family practice resident to see the patient now.
Ask for a consultant to see the patient now.
Are any tests needed:
Do you need any tests like CXR, ABG, EKG, CBC, or BMP?
Others?
If a change in treatment is ordered then ask:
How often do you want vital signs?
How long to you expect this problem will last?
If the patient does not get better when would you want us to call again?

Guidelines for Communicating with Physicians Using the
SBAR Process
4. 1. Use the following modalities according to physician
preference, if known. Wait no
longer than five minutes between attempts.
1. Direct page (if known)
2. Physician’s Call Service
3. During weekdays, the physician’s office directly
4. On weekends and after hours during the week, physician’s
home phone
5. Cell phone
Before assuming that the physician you are attempting to reach
is not responding,
utilize all modalities. For emergent situations, use appropriate
resident service as
needed to ensure safe patient care.
2. Prior to calling the physician, follow these steps:
• Have I seen and assessed the patient myself before calling?
• Has the situation been discussed with resource nurse or
preceptor?
• Review the chart for appropriate physician to call.
• Know the admitting diagnosis and date of admission.
• Have I read the most recent MD progress notes and notes from
the nurse who
worked the shift ahead of me?
• Have available the following when speaking with the
physician:
• Patient’s chart
5. • List of current medications, allergies, IV fluids, and labs
• Most recent vital signs
• Reporting lab results: provide the date and time test was done
and results of
previous tests for comparison
• Code status
3. When calling the physician, follow the SBAR process:
(S) Situation: What is the situation you are calling about?
• Identify self, unit, patient, room number.
• Briefly state the problem, what is it, when it happened or
started, and how severe.

SBAR
Read the instructions and rubric on the assignment form before
completing this. As you
have assessed your patient, which finding from the “General
Status, Pain, Nutrition and Vital
Signs” assessment would require attention from the clinician (if
it is sufficiently serious to
warrant medical attention) or from you as a nurse if it regards a
health promotional/lifestyle
problem? Select a problem you feel to be of importance and
address it using the SBAR form. If
you have a healthy assessment partner, it may be as simple as
addressing that he/she gets
insufficient exercise or doesn’t eat a balanced diet—perhaps not
as many fruits or veggies as
recommended. Most people don’t drink enough water—you can
often use that if nothing more
serious is apparent. If your assessment partner has chronic
health problems or pain, address
one of those problems below.
24. SBAR
Situation Client reports constant pain in her hands—scores the
pain as 1 – 2
out of 10.
Background
She is a 50-year old in good health and reports no other chronic
conditions. She uses Advil with effective short-term relief.
Assessment
(Name the problem)
Mild constant hand pain
Recommendation
Continue to use over-the-counter analgesics as directed on
bottle
as she has been doing, and mention it to her clinician at the next
health care visit so it can become a part of her recorded health
history.
11 points deducted for this assignment. Total score for this
student—89% A range of 84 – 94% would
be acceptable—always remember that some people see more
strengths and weaknesses than others
and +5% or -5% is an acceptable range. At first it may seem
that there were a lot of deductions for a
fairly easy assignment, but remember that this is a class
focusing on assessment and documentation—
25. especially terminology. We want our students to be able to
describe normal, because then describing
abnormal becomes easier. Most hospitals have electronic health
records and a checkmark here and
Commented [D16]: This assessment partner reveals no
acute health problems and very little to write an SBAR
with—her arthritis will work for this purpose. We could also
use her nutrition assessment—on the day she recalled her
food intake, she had only 1 vegetable. In the chapter on
Nutrition, the current recommendations show that about
25% or more of the intake should consist of vegetables.
Your textbook recommends 2000 to 3000 ml of fluid per
day. This person gets that much, so we couldn’t use liquid
intake as a wellness or “health promotional” SBAR, as you
could for a lot of the population.
Commented [D17]: The SBAR is on a low-priority
assessment finding, but given that the patient is healthy and
has no urgent serious complaints, this is a good choice. The
SBAR is written correctly and should receive full points.
Outpatients may use OTC (over the counter) meds,
following the instructions if there are no contraindications.
there with a word or two are all that is necessary for most
situations. However, when there are
abnormal findings, being able to describe them using
professional descriptions is expected of BSNs.
