change of vocation and not sure of terminology?

[Wanny]

I have just changed my area of working and I was asked what type/level of care a patient was being given. I had so much to remember and it was rushed, I am sure the word started with B? This sounds so silly but as the area is more clinical the care being offered is so different to my previous post . I appreciate any help. Thank you.

Are they talking about acuity based on a scale of A-F with A being the least Acute and F being the most Acute. An acuity of A would be a patient that is almost completely independent needing very little nursing care and F being a patient that is probably in ICU needing 1 on 1 or 2 on 1 nursing care with lots of interventions (vent, feeding tube, lots of IV drips, unstable). This is all I've got, if this isn't what you are talking about I have no idea.

Basic, bedside, boo-boo, bariatric ... ? OP, where are you? Please help us out here.

For whatever reason, "Bariatric" was the first word I thought of....
