When notifying a healthcare provider about a client's deteriorated condition, it's essential to include the client's medical diagnosis to provide context, the name and relationship to the client to identify the patient correctly, and observed changes in the client's status to convey the reason for concern and the nature of the deterioration. The name of the unit nurse manager and names of family members visiting are not directly relevant to the client's immediate medical condition or treatment needs.
