  • Patient Monitoring :

  • Perform diagnostic tests, such as blood draws, ECGs, or urine tests, and communicate results to the appropriate healthcare team members.
  • Document patient status, changes in condition, and any interventions in the electronic health record (EHR).
  • Patient Education and Support :

  • Educate patients and families about diagnoses, treatment plans, medications, recovery processes, and lifestyle changes needed to support health.
  • Provide emotional and psychological support to patients and families, addressing concerns, anxieties, and offering comfort.
  • Teach patients about preventative care, home care instructions, and how to manage chronic conditions post-discharge.
  • Collaboration with Healthcare Team :

  • Work with physicians, nurse practitioners, technicians, and other healthcare professionals to develop and implement patient care plans.
  • Communicate effectively with the interdisciplinary team to discuss patient progress, needs, and any changes in care.
  • Advocate for patient care needs and ensure the coordination of care across disciplines, such as physical therapy, nutrition, and social services.
  • Emergency and Critical Care :

  • Respond promptly to emergencies, including cardiac arrest, respiratory failure, and other urgent conditions, utilizing life-saving measures as needed (e.g., CPR, ACLS).
  • Assess and stabilize patients in acute situations, collaborating with the healthcare team to determine the most appropriate interventions.
  • Infection Control and Safety :

  • Follow infection control policies and procedures, including proper hand hygiene, use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and maintaining a sterile environment.
  • Ensure patient safety by identifying potential risks and taking steps to prevent harm (e.g., fall prevention, pressure ulcer prevention).
  • Documentation and Reporting :

  • Accurately document all aspects of patient care, including assessments, treatments, responses, and changes in condition.
  • Ensure that records comply with hospital policies, legal requirements, and accreditation standards.
  • Report significant changes in patient status to physicians and other healthcare team members in a timely manner.
  • Patient Discharge :

  • Assist with patient discharge by ensuring the patient has all necessary instructions, medications, and follow-up appointments scheduled.
