Practice Question
A nurse is giving change-of-shift report using SBAR to the oncoming nurse on a client who has a traumatic brain injury. Which of the following information should the nurse include in the background segment of SBAR?
Answer Choices:
Correct Answer:
Code status
Rationale:
✍In the SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) communication model, the Background section includes essential clinical details that provide context for current care decisions.
✍Code status (e.g., Full Code, DNR) is a critical element because it defines the scope of emergency interventions the client should receive.
✍Including code status ensures all team members are aware of the client's resuscitation preferences, which is vital for safe, ethical, and timely care planning, particularly in acute or high-risk situations like traumatic brain injuries.
