Nurses' Notes 1430: The transfer coordinator confirms that the client's full name and date of birth match both records. The referral lists a history of hypertension and type II diabetes. The sending nurse reports that penicillin anaphylaxis is missing from the transfer form. At 1400, the receiving nurse read back the planned arrival time and unit location. The most recent blood pressure, pulse, respirations, temperature, and oxygen saturation are documented. At 1415, rapid-acting insulin was given while the meal is delayed. The note states that oxygen at 2 L/min and the current saturation are included. A repeat troponin was collected at 1420. The transfer packet shows no clinician owns the pending troponin result. The family received the destination and telephone number. The coordinator verifies that the family contact information was updated before departure. The belongings form is complete, and the clothing and glasses are listed on the inventory. The electronic chart says full code, while the signed summary says do not resuscitate. At 1440, the receiving nurse had time to ask questions and confirm responsibility. Transport is waiting outside the room.
