• 4- Reporting Findings As soon as you collect your information you must report abnormal data and record assessment findings so that they'll be communicated to others. Failing to communicate is a major basis for malpractice suits. If you find that a patient's temperature is 105E F, you should complete a focus assessment and notify the physician as soon as possible before writing the information on the record. Until you gain experience and become confident in determining what to report, the rule is to "report anything you suspect might be abnormal" to your instructor. Timely reporting ensures early diagnosis even if you don't have the knowledge to diagnose the problem yourself, keeps accountable parties informed, and helps you to learn - the instructor will want to help you analyze the information and determine its significance.
