A planned strategy called intentional rounding involves healthcare personnel periodically visiting patients to make sure their basic requirements are being met. Introduction Hospital nurses use an organised method called intentional rounding (IR) to regularly check on patients, typically once an hour, to address difficulties with positioning, pain, personal needs, and item placement. The four Ps — pain, peripheral IV, toilet, and placement — will be the main points of focus.
