Tip for Hospice Nurses:
When documenting on your hospice patient with a diagnosis of heart failure in addition to the cardiac assessment, you can highlight eligibility when documenting all system assessments.
For example:
1. Mobility: minimal tolerance for activity r/t worsening weakness from progression of end-stage heart failure.
2. Skin: poor arterial flow resulting in skin that is pale, cyanotic, thin, fragile (etc)
3. Edema, arterial ulcers, venous stasis ulcers (etc)
4. Elimination: incontinence r/t inability to get to bathroom in time due to progression of end-stage heart failure and worsening weakness and debility.
