  6. Deliver age-appropriate communication and culturally sensitive interventions, documenting any special needs.
  7. Ensure the safe administration of medications in accordance with facility policies and physician orders; assess patients before and after medication administration, accurately documenting doses and providing education on medications.
  8. Follow up on patient care tasks; communicate any incomplete assignments and patient needs with other disciplines to ensure continuity of care; accurately transcribe orders and perform chart audits as per facility guidelines.
  9. Utilize nursing knowledge to effectively meet the needs of the facility, patient population, and staff; leverage nursing resources to enhance evidence-based practices.
  10. Guide, educate, and mentor new staff as a preceptor; undertake additional duties and projects as assigned.
