What is Urgent Reporting?

definition

Urgent reporting for the CNA includes any change in a patient's or resident's condition that might require evaluation or intervention. Examples are bleeding, pain, or injury. Restraints (ordered by a doctor) require reporting to the nurse. Other circumstances that require immediate reporting: skin changes, falls, patient complaints, difficult behavior, suicidal or dangerous behavior, and discovery of alcohol or drugs. The CNA should also report if the patient refuses to eat or cooperate with care.
