Using a clinical pathway approach to document patient teaching for breast cancer surgical procedures.
PURPOSE/OBJECTIVES: To develop a tool suitable for documenting patient teaching regarding surgery for breast cancer. DATA SOURCES: Standards of care, clinical experience, published articles. DATA SYNTHESIS: Development of a clinical pathway approach to documenting patient teaching was a logical outgrowth of a hospital-wide effort to implement pathways. CONCLUSIONS: After use and revision, the nursing staff at Leonard Hospital determined the tool to be a comprehensive approach to patient education and it became a permanent part of the patient record. IMPLICATIONS FOR NURSING PRACTICE: The tool provides a standardized approach for teaching patients who are having breast cancer surgery and can be used in a variety of care settings by all members of the healthcare team.
