Crisis Action Plan
A crisis action plan is used to plan for and be prepared for a decline in your patient’s kidney function.
This document can be used to plan with your patient and their family to know how to act during a crisis: who to call (SUPPORT), which medication to take (SYMPTOM) and what to do in an EMERGENCY. It is strongly recommend that patients keep this sheet in their Green Sleeve.
This health care professional crisis action plan should be used by healthcare providers to inform how they should care for a patient who has chosen conservative kidney management, in the event of a crisis. Instruct your patient and their family to keep this action plan in their green sleeve. In the event 911 is called or they need go to an emergency department, the patient or family member should give this action plan to the health care professional caring for them.
