Validate purposeful rounding, daily care safety and device care. Check pressure injury risk with the Braden Scale, complete SSKIN assessments, and record skin impairments in the Avatar system. Confirm fall risk screening with the Morse Scale, functional and psychosocial screening on admission, and timely nursing notes using the Epic handover template.
