Which visit performs a nursing evaluation within specified timeframes?

• A. RN Assessment Visit
• B. Therapy-Only Patient
• C. Insurance Change
• D. Data Collection Guidance

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is that the nursing evaluation, which supports the OASIS data collection and the initial plan of care, is performed during an RN Assessment Visit. This visit is specifically the time when a registered nurse conducts a comprehensive nursing assessment, reviewing medications, safety, functional status, wounds, vital signs, and other nursing needs, and documents the nursing portions of the OASIS within the required timeframe after the start of care. Therapy-only visits focus on physical, occupational, and speech therapy and do not fulfill the nursing assessment requirement. Administrative events like an insurance change or general data collection guidance aren’t patient visits for a nursing evaluation.
