Patient Care and Monitoring:
- Administer prescribed medications and treatments, including IV medications, pain management, and blood products.
- Monitor patients with telemetry, arterial lines, and other continuous monitoring devices, adjusting care as necessary.
- Provide post-surgical care for patients who have undergone major surgery, including cardiovascular, neurological, or orthopedic procedures.
- 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.
Quality and Compliance:
- Follow all hospital protocols and national standards to maintain high-quality care, safety, and patient satisfaction.
- Participate in quality improvement activities and patient safety initiatives to enhance patient outcomes.
