Nurse Decoded SBAR Template

The Nurse Decoded SBAR Template is designed to help you organize essential clinical information before communicating a patient concern or change in condition. Use it as a practical guide to structure your Situation, Background, Assessment, and Recommendation so your communication is focused, relevant, and easy for the receiving clinician to follow.

Keep it accessible as you work through the SBAR content and practice activities—you’ll have an opportunity to put it into action later in the course.
