  • Wound Care and Post-Surgical Care:
    • Provide post-operative care for surgical patients, including monitoring incision sites, managing drains, and ensuring proper wound healing.
    • Perform dressing changes, assess for signs of infection, and educate patients on post-surgical care instructions.
    • Administer treatments to manage or prevent complications, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pressure ulcers, or infections.
  • Patient Education:
    • Educate patients and their families on disease management, including medication regimens, lifestyle modifications, and post-discharge care.
    • Offer guidance on managing chronic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and heart disease, ensuring patients understand their role in maintaining health.
    • Provide education on fall prevention, nutrition, activity restrictions, and discharge planning.
  • Collaboration with Healthcare Team:
    • Work closely with physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other healthcare providers to implement and adjust patient care plans.
    • Participate in daily rounds to discuss patient progress, care needs, and treatment adjustments.
    • Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams, including physical therapy, social work, and dietitians, to provide holistic care to patients.
  • Emergency Response and Critical Care:
    • Respond promptly to medical emergencies, including cardiac arrests, respiratory distress, and sudden changes in patient condition.
    • Provide immediate interventions, including CPR, advanced cardiac life support (ACLS), or other life-saving measures, in collaboration with the healthcare team.
    • Manage patients who experience acute changes in their condition, escalating care as necessary (e.g., transferring to ICU if required).
  • Documentation and Reporting:
    • Maintain accurate, timely, and thorough documentation of all assessments, interventions, patient responses, and communications in the electronic health record (EHR).
    • Ensure that patient information is up-to-date and readily available for other healthcare professionals involved in patient care.
    • Report any changes in patient condition or concerns to the appropriate healthcare provider and follow up on recommendations.
  • Infection Control and Safety:
    • Follow infection control protocols to prevent the spread of infections, including proper hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and sterile techniques when necessary.
    • Ensure patient safety by regularly assessing for fall risks, managing medications safely, and preventing hospital-acquired infections.
    • Maintain a clean and safe environment for patients by adhering to hospital policies and infection prevention measures.
  • Quality Improvement and Continuing Education:
    • Participate in hospital quality improvement initiatives and patient safety programs aimed at enhancing care delivery and outcomes.
    • Stay current with the latest nursing practices, healthcare technologies, and patient care protocols, especially in telemetry monitoring and MedSurg nursing.
    • Attend continuing education workshops, certification programs, and professional development opportunities to maintain licensure and expertise.
