RECOGNIZING SIGNS OF DETERIORATING HEALTH:
Family members may be the first to notice changes
Notify the healthcare team immediately if you notice any of the following warning signs of declining health:
1. BODY TEMPERATURE is too high (above 38.0° C) or too low (below 36.0° C).
2. HEART RATE (pulse) or RESPIRATORY RATE (breathing) changes:
A. A heart rate that stays less than 60 or greater than 100 beats per minute
B. A respiratory rate of less than 15 or greater than 20 breaths per minute, may need to be evaluated.
3. BLOOD PRESSURE numbers are out of the normal range. (Systolic blood pressure top number in the blood pressure reading is less than 90 or greater than 180).
4. CHANGES IN MENTAL STATE including confusion, delirium, or a sudden change in personality, memory or alertness.
5. CHANGES IN URINE OUTPUT OR APPEARANCE . A decrease in amount of urine (less than 50 ml over 4 hours) or urine appears darker in colour or looks “concentrated.”
6. PATIENT STATES SOMETHING IS WRONG. Individuals often have a sense that they are experiencing a sudden decline in their health.
7. THE PATIENT DOESN'T LOOK RIGHT. Family members and advocates who know the patient personally are often better judges of changes in normal appearance or behaviour.
8. SHORTNESS OF BREATH or having a tight feeling or discomfort in the chest.
9. ACUTE PAIN, especially in the abdomen.
10. VERY PALE appearance of the skin or breaking out in cold sweats.
