Behavior Changes Documentation

Residents are very dynamic, even minor changes can affect their behaviors; however, major changes increase the risk of a negative outcome. A minor change in medication dosage may have a negative effect on a resident as well as unmanaged pain, leading to a change in behavior. Consideration should also be given to but not limited to transfer trauma, change in life situation, change in family dynamics/situation/role reversal. This program was developed to assist you, the caregiver, on best practices for documenting changes in resident behaviors and identifying the root cause of the change.
