Referring to your feedback log, document all nursing care provided as well as Mr. Griffin's response to this care, including responses related to infection control and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE).  After introducing myself and identifying the patient, his vitals, respirations, temperature, and pulses were assessed and I attached a pulse oximeter. I asked the patient if he had any pain, which he responded “Yes, I am feeling a little sore in my knee.” I examined his legs, assessed his dressing and IV site, which he was okay with. I had the patient use an incentive spirometer and educated him that it will help his breathing. I educated him about wound care, which he appreciated because he didn’t know how to treat his wound at home. I also educated him about personal protective equiptment, which he was eager to understand the specifics. 4. Document your handoff report in the SBAR format to communicate Mr. Griffin's future needs.  Situation: Mr Griffen, 3/21/19. Admitted for right total knee arthroplasty (TKA)  Background: History of MRSA, osteoarthritis and mild hypertension. He tested positive again in the hospital for MRSA.
