Nursing Care Guidelines

In collaboration with the Illinois College of Nursing, AAPACE has developed the following care guidelines to assist Licensed Practical Nurse’s and Registered Nurse’s in understanding and managing alterations in a patient or residents health condition within the post-acute care setting. It is important to note that these guidelines are a supplemental support tool for nurses to reference as needed. These guidelines are not all inclusive and are only to help guide (not replace) a nurses clinical decision making process on what interventions may be best for their patient.
