Abstract:
Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder that causes overwhelming daytime sleepiness. In an effort to continue addressing gaps and variations in care in this patient population, the American Academy of Sleep Medicine Quality Measures Task Force performed quality measure maintenance on the Quality Measures for the Care of Patients with Narcolepsy (originally developed in 2015). The Quality Measures Task Force reviewed the current medical literature, including updated clinical practice guidelines and systematic literature reviews, existing narcolepsy quality measures, and performance data highlighting remaining gaps or variations in care.

Guidelines for Nursing Documentation II
Timely documentation is crucial to ensure continuity of care for patients. Any delays in recording or reporting medical information can result in medical errors and even adverse patient outcomes. From medication administration to diagnostic test results, every detail must be accurately and promptly documented to provide the best possible care for patients.
Guidelines For Measuring Vital Signs
Before taking a patient's vital signs, a nurse would consider and assess the patient's comfort level and ensure appropriate equipment is available.
