The nurse would expect the PSW to report the client's tolerance of the activity, any concerns or special needs, and the client's needs or wishes. Reporting specific care given at the end of the shift is also important, but it is not the only information the nurse would need. It is important for the nurse to have a comprehensive understanding of the client's status and needs in order to provide appropriate care planning and coordination.
