Caring for a swing bed patient differs significantly from caring for an acutely ill patient, requiring a shift in nursing goals and approaches. Our project focuses on developing an orientation tool to help nurses understand the unique aspects of swing bed care, including recovery-focused interventions, discharge planning, and the transition from acute illness to rehabilitation. By equipping nurses with clear guidelines and expectations, this resource aims to enhance patient outcomes, streamline care processes, and improve nurse confidence when managing swing bed patients.
