Core concepts
Concept 1
A procedure begins with indication, identity, consent, equipment and infection control and ends with interpretation and escalation.
Exam cue: Know what result is expected and what abnormal finding requires action.
Concept 2
Monitoring combines accurate observations and trends with baseline communication, behaviour, function and reasonable adjustments to equipment or environment.
Exam cue: Treat the person and trend, not an isolated machine value.
Risk pitfalls and guardrails
