What is the key difference between routine observation and continuous observation?
What is the key difference between routine observation and continuous observation?
- Routine observation involves constant visual observation, while continuous observation requires visual observation every 30 minutes.
- Routine observation involves maintaining knowledge of whereabouts through hearing, while continuous observation involves visual observation only during specific activities.
- Routine observation involves increased monitoring levels, while continuous observation focuses on documentation.
- Routine observation involves visual observation every 30 minutes, while continuous observation requires visual observation at all times. (correct)
What distinguishes one-to-one observation from continuous observation?
What distinguishes one-to-one observation from continuous observation?
- One-to-one observation allows for the ordering clinician to modify the level of observation, while continuous observation is rigid.
- One-to-one observation requires constant visual awareness, while continuous observation involves monitoring through hearing.
- One-to-one observation focuses on increased documentation levels, while continuous observation emphasizes monitor restrictiveness.
- One-to-one observation involves at least one staff in close proximity to prevent unsafe actions, while continuous observation requires visual observation at all times. (correct)
Why is continuous observation considered 'special observation'?
Why is continuous observation considered 'special observation'?
- Because it involves increased levels of monitoring, restrictiveness, and documentation. (correct)
- Because it allows for modifications by the ordering clinician.
- Because it focuses on maintaining knowledge through hearing.
- Because it requires visual observation at all times without any breaks.
