Questions and Answers

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?

  • 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'?

  • 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.
