ABCDE Assessment

As a nurse, you will need to be able to:

• use the ABCDE approach to both assess a patient and to implement interventions within your role as a student nurse/registered nurse
• document findings accurately and comprehensively according to local policy
• recognise when the patient requires input from other members of the healthcare team and escalate using a structured communication tool.

Build on your existing knowledge with the skill overview and demonstration, then review your progress using the self-test and checklist.
