General Considerations
- ADL - assess functional status during the first 24 hours after the patient has been "accepted" to medicine service by a medicine service attending physician.
- If dependancy of an ADL is induced solely by medical intervention, estimate the ADL without intervention.
- ADL assesses a patient "capability" to perform a certain activity if allowed. Patients who are ordered not to do a certain activity should not be assessed as requiring assistance. If patient would be able to perform the activity if allowed then they are to be assessed as "unassisted".
Discussion
where to get the data
This information can be obtained from a variety of sources in the first 24 hours depending on the timing and details documented.For example:
- OT/PT assessment
- Activity flow sheets if used
- Nursing data base
- nurses note
- risk assessment for falls form if used
which of several values to use
- We have addressed that status during first 24 hrs is what should be collected. Should it really be worst status during the first 24 hrs?Template:Discussion
- most likely accurate in other location
