• Manage patients with complex conditions, such as heart failure, respiratory distress, and diabetes.
• Collaboration:
• Work closely with physicians, nurse practitioners, and other healthcare professionals to develop and implement individualized care plans.
• Participate in daily rounds and communicate with the team regarding patient condition, response to treatments, and any changes in care plans.
• Patient Education:
• Educate patients and families about the recovery process, treatment plans, medications, and any required lifestyle changes.
• Provide guidance on managing chronic conditions, improving health, and preventing readmissions.
• Documentation:
• Accurately document all nursing interventions, patient assessments, outcomes, and any changes in condition using electronic health records (EHR).
• Ensure compliance with all legal, regulatory, and hospital-specific documentation requirements.
• Safety & Infection Control:
• Follow infection control protocols and use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize the risk of hospital-acquired infections.
• Respond to changes in patient condition quickly and appropriately, including initiating emergency procedures if needed.
• Emergency Response:
• Recognize and respond promptly to emergencies, including code blue situations or significant changes in patient vital signs.
• Perform advanced life support (ALS) or other emergency interventions as required.
• Teamwork and Support:
• Collaborate with PCU colleagues, support staff, and interdisciplinary teams to ensure safe and efficient patient care.
• Serve as a resource to less experienced nursing staff and participate in mentoring or training initiatives.
