Clinical Nursing Assessments
Perth Disability Care provide comprehensive nursing assessments to identify health needs, support clinical decision-making, and inform the development of individualised care plans. Our assessments are evidence-based, person-centred, and designed to support participants in achieving optimal health, safety, and wellbeing.
Our Clinical Nursing Assessments Include:
Comprehensive Clinical Assessment (Head-to-Toe Assessment)
A holistic assessment of physical health, functional status, and clinical care needs to identify risks, concerns, and support requirements.
Continence Assessment
Evaluation of bladder and bowel function, continence concerns, contributing factors, and management strategies to support effective continence care planning.
Falls Risk Assessment
Identification of intrinsic and extrinsic risk factors associated with falls, with recommendations to reduce risk and promote participant’s safety.
Skin Integrity Assessment
Assessments of skin health, pressure injury risk, moisture-associated skin damage, and other factors affecting skin integrity, with evidence-based prevention and management recommendations.
Cognitive Assessment
Comprehensive cognitive assessments are conducted using validated screening tools to support the identification of cognitive changes and inform appropriate care planning, referrals, and ongoing support.
Assessment tools may include:
