1 1. 2. INCLUSION CRITERIA: All Stroke patients over 18 years of age admitted to hospital. HOW TO USE THE CLINICAL PATHWAY This is a proactive tool to avoid delays in treatment and discharge. These are not orders, only a guide to usual order. Place the Clinical Pathway in the nurses clinical area of the chart. All health care professionals should fill in the master signature sheet at the front of the Pathway. Addressograph/sticker each page of the Pathway. 3. MULTIDISCIPLINARY TEAMS: Sign and date appropriate sheet on first contact with patient and each day the patient is seen. 4. HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS: Place appropriate symbol in space provided: ie done not done or symbol provided and relevant. Place N/A in any box where the task is not applicable to the patient. Additional tasks due to patient individuality can be added to the pathway in OTHER boxes and/or Progress Notes. NOT ALL TASKS WILL APPLY TO EVERY PATIENT. 5. TRANSFER PATIENTS: If patient is transferred to another hospital in Grey- Bruce or to CCAC, send a copy of the following: m Discharge Criteria - original to stay on patient chart m MAR Sheet - original to stay on patient chart m Anticoagulant Record - original to stay on patient chart m Teaching Checklist - original to stay on patient chart m Caregiver Checklist - original to stay on patient chart Grey Bruce Health Network 1

12 Braden Risk Assessment - page 2 RISK FACTOR Sensory Perception Ability to respond meaningfully to pressure related discomfort 1. Completely Limited Unresponsive (does not moan, flinch, or grasp) to painful stimuli, due to diminished level or consciousness or sedation. OR Limited ability to feel pain over most of body surface. 2. Very Limited Responds only to painful stimuli. Cannot communicate discomfort except by moaning or restlessness. OR Has a sensory impairment, which limits the ability to feel pain or discomfort over 1/2 of body. SCORE/DESCRIPTION 3. Slightly Limited Responds to verbal commands but cannot always communicate discomfort or need to be turned. OR Has some sensory Impairment, which limits ability to feel pain or discomfort in 1 or 2 extremities. 4. No Impairment Responds to verbal commands. Has no sensory deficit, which would limit ability to feel or voice pain or discomfort. Moisture Degree to which skin is exposed to moisture Activity Degree of physical activity 1. Constantly Moist Skin is kept moist almost constantly by perspiration, urine, etc. Dampness is detected every time patient is moved or turned. 1. Bedfast Confined to a bed. 2. Often Moist Skin is often, but not always moist. Linen must be changed at least once a shift. 2. Chair Fast Ability to walk severely limited or nonexistent. Cannot bear own weight and/or must be assisted into chair or wheelchair. 3. Occasionally Moist Skin is occasionally moist, requiring an extra linen change approximately once a day. 3. Walks Occasionally Walks occasionally during day, but for very short distances, with or without assistance. Spends majority of each shift in bed or chair. 4. Rarely Moist Skin is usually dry, linen only requires changing at routine intervals. 4. Walks Frequently Walks outside the room at least twice a day and inside room at least once every two hours during waking hours. Mobility Ability to change and control body position Nutrition 1. Completely Immobile Does not make even slight changes in body or extremity position without assistance. 1. Very Poor Never eats a complete meal. Rarely eats more than 1/3 of any food offered. Eats 2 servings or less of protein (meat or dairy products) per day. Takes fluids poorly. Does not take a liquid dietary supplement. OR Is on NPO and/or maintained on clear fluids or IV for more than 5 days. 2. Very Limited Makes occasional slight changes in body or extremity position, but unable to make frequent or significant changes independently. 2. Probably Inadequate Rarely eats a complete meal and generally eats only about 1/2 of any food offered. Protein intake includes only 3 servings of meat or dairy products per day. Occasionally will take a dietary supplement. OR Receives less than optimum amount of liquid diet or tube feeding. 3. Slightly Limited Makes frequent, though slight changes in body or extremity position independently. 3. Adequate 4. Excellent Eats over half of most meals. Eats a total of 4 servings of protein (meat, dairy products) each day. Occasionally, will refuse a meal, but will usually take a supplement if offered. OR Is on a tube feeding or TPN (Total Parenteral Nutrition) regimen, which probably meets most of nutritional needs. 4. No Limitations Makes major and frequent changes in position without assistance. Eats most of every meal. Never refuses a meal. Usually eats a total of 4 or more servings of meat and dairy products. Occasionally eats between meals. Does not require supplementation. Friction and Shear 1. Problem Requires moderate to maximum assistance in moving. Complete lifting without sliding against sheets is impossible. Frequently slides down in bed or chair, requiring frequent repositioning with maximum assistance. Spasticity, contractures or agitation leads to almost constant friction. 2. Potential Problem Moves feebly or requires minimum assistance. During a move, skin probably slides to some extent against sheets, chair, restraints or other devices. Maintains relatively good position in chair or bed most of the time, but occasionally slides down. 3. No Apparent Problem Moves in bed and in chair independently and has sufficient muscle strength to lift up completely during move. Maintains good position in bed or chair at all times Grey Bruce Health Network 12 Review Dec2016
