Nursing Services:

Professional nursing care is based on an assessment of the recipient's medical/health care needs. This service includes ongoing professional nursing observation, monitoring, intervention, and evaluation providing the continuity, intensity, and length of time required maintaining or restoring opti mal health. Professional nursing is defined in the MN Nurse Practice Act.

 

 

 

Private Duty Nursing Services have been designated as either "Regular" or "Complex":

 

Complex Private Duty Nursing Care is care provided to recipients who are either ventilator-dependent or who require an "intensive level of care".

 

Ventilator Dependent A recipient is considered ventilator dependent when mechanical ventilation for life support is needed for at least six hours per day and the person is expected to be or has been dependent for at least 30 consecutive days.

Intensive Level of Care A recipient has medical needs that meet intensive level of care when the doctor's orders require complex nursing assessments and interventions that are in response to life-threatening episodes of instability. The interventions would be needed immediately based on either anticipated or unanticipated changes in the recipient's health status.

Regular Private Duty Nursing Care is nursing provided to a recipient who is not ventilator dependent and does not require an intensive level of care. Regular PDN assessments and interventions are needed for a recipient who is considered stable but has episodes of instability that are not immediately life threatening. Nursing observation, monitoring and assessment is needed to determine appropriate interventions that maintain or improve the recipient's health status.
