• PCRs are an important part of maintaining and
monitoring the fundamental aspects of individual
patient care. They should be carried out at 2-hour
intervals whenever possible, commencing after
lunchtime and continuing for the rest of the day.

• At night time, PCRs should be carried out before
patients go to sleep and again in the early
morning.
