CLINICAL PATHWAY CHECKLIST

PATIENT ID

INCLUSION CRITERIA:

All Stroke patients over 18 years of age admitted to hospital.

This is a proactive tool to avoid delays in treatment and discharge.

These are not orders, only a guide to usual order.

TRANSFER PATIENTS: If patient is transferred to another hospital in Grey-

Bruce or to CCAC, send a copy of the following:

HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONALS: Place appropriate symbol in space

provided: ie done not done or symbol provided and relevant.

Place N/A in any box where the task is not applicable to the patient.

Additional tasks due to patient individuality can be added to the pathway in

“OTHER” boxes and/or Progress Notes. NOT ALL TASKS WILL APPLY TO

EVERY PATIENT.

Braden Risk Assessment - page 2

RISK FACTOR

Moisture

Degree to which skin is

exposed to moisture

1. Constantly Moist

Skin is kept moist almost

constantly by perspiration,

urine, etc. Dampness is

detected every time patient is

moved or turned.

2. Often Moist

Skin is often, but not

always moist. Linen must be

changed at least once a shift.

3. Occasionally Moist

Skin is occasionally moist,

requiring an extra linen

change approximately once a

day.

4. Rarely Moist

Skin is usually dry, linen only

requires changing at routine

intervals.

Activity

Degree of physical

activity

1. Bedfast

Confined to a bed.

2. Chair Fast

Ability to walk severely

limited or nonexistent.

Cannot bear own weight

and/or must be assisted into

chair or wheelchair.

3. Walks Occasionally

Walks occasionally

during day, but for very short

distances, with or without

assistance. Spends majority

of each shift in bed or chair.

4. Walks Frequently

Walks outside the room at

least twice a day and

inside room at least once

every two hours during

waking hours.

Mobility

Ability to change and

control body position

1. Completely Immobile

Does not make even slight

changes in body or

extremity position without

assistance.

2. Very Limited

Makes occasional slight

changes in body or

extremity position, but

unable to make frequent or

significant changes

independently.

3. Slightly Limited

Makes frequent, though

slight changes in body or

extremity position

independently.

4. No Limitations

Makes major and frequent

changes in position

without assistance.

Nutrition 1. Very Poor

Never eats a complete meal.

Rarely eats more than 1/3 of

any food offered. Eats 2

servings or less of protein

(meat or dairy products) per

day. Takes fluids poorly.

Does not take a liquid dietary

supplement.

OR

Is on NPO and/or maintained

on clear fluids or IV for more

than 5 days.

2. Probably Inadequate

Rarely eats a complete meal

and generally eats only about

1/2 of any food offered.

Protein intake includes only 3

servings of meat or dairy

products per day.

Occasionally will take a

dietary supplement.

OR

Receives less than optimum

amount of liquid diet or tube

feeding.

3. Adequate

Eats over half of most meals.

Eats a total of 4 servings of

protein (meat, dairy products)

each day. Occasionally, will

refuse a meal, but will usually

take a supplement if offered.

OR

Is on a tube feeding or TPN

(Total Parenteral Nutrition)

regimen, which probably

meets most of nutritional

needs.

4. Excellent

Eats most of every meal.

Never refuses a meal.

Usually eats a total of 4 or

more servings of meat and

dairy products.

Occasionally eats

between meals. Does not

require supplementation.

Friction and Shear 1. Problem

Requires moderate to

maximum assistance in

moving. Complete lifting

without sliding against sheets

is impossible.

Frequently slides down in bed

or chair, requiring

frequent repositioning with

maximum assistance.

Spasticity, contractures or

agitation leads to almost

constant friction.

2. Potential Problem

Moves feebly or requires

minimum assistance.

During a move, skin probably

slides to some extent against

sheets, chair, restraints or

other devices. Maintains

relatively good position in

chair or bed most of the time,

but occasionally slides down.

3. No Apparent Problem

Moves in bed and in chair

independently and has

sufficient muscle strength to

lift up completely during

move. Maintains good

position in bed or chair at all

times.

SCORE/DESCRIPTION

Sensory Perception

Ability to respond

meaningfully

to pressure related

discomfort

1. Completely Limited

Unresponsive (does not

moan, flinch, or grasp) to

painful stimuli, due to

diminished level or

consciousness or sedation.

OR

Limited ability to feel pain

over most of body surface.

2. Very Limited

Responds only to painful

stimuli. Cannot

communicate discomfort

except by moaning or

restlessness.

OR

Has a sensory impairment,

which limits the ability to feel

pain or discomfort over 1/2 of

body.

3. Slightly Limited

Responds to verbal

commands but cannot always

communicate

discomfort or need to be

turned.

OR

Has some sensory

Impairment, which limits

ability to feel pain or

discomfort in 1 or 2

extremities.

4. No Impairment

Responds to verbal

commands. Has no

sensory deficit, which would

limit ability to feel or voice

pain or discomfort.
