    The Caldwell considerative checklist process. CPR = cardiopulmonary resuscitation; DVT = deep vein thrombosis; EDD = estimated date of discharge; iv = intravenous; TPR = temperature, pulse, respiratory rate; TTO = treatment to take away. One member of the team is the ‘Safety checker’ and must highlight any omissions. The tinted sections must be checked in all patients. *Mark tick for nurse present during preparatory discussions © Dr G Caldwell January 2010.
