Nursing care bd encompasses a wide range of activities aimed at promoting, maintaining, and restoring the health and well-being of individuals, families, and communities. Here are some examples of nursing care:

Assessing and monitoring vital signs, such as blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate. Administering medications, including injections, intravenous fluids, and oral medications. Assisting patients with activities of daily living, such as bathing, dressing, and eating. Providing wound care, including cleaning and dressing wounds, and monitoring for signs of infection.

Monitoring and managing symptoms, such as pain, nausea, and shortness of breath. Educating patients and their families on disease management, medication regimens, and lifestyle changes. Providing emotional support and counseling to patients and their families. Collaborating with other healthcare professionals, such as physicians, physical therapists, and social workers, to provide comprehensive care.

Advocating for patients’ rights and needs. Providing end-of-life care and support for patients and their families. These are just a few examples of the many aspects of nursing care. The specific nursing care provided will depend on the needs of the individual patient and the healthcare setting.

A nursing assistant provides basic care to patients while working directly under a LPN or RN. These basic care activities also referred to as activities of daily living, can include assisting with bathing and dressing residents, helping residents with meals, either serving them or with feeding, transferring to and from the bed or wheelchair, making and cleaning beds, assisting with toileting, and answering call lights.

At skilled nursing facilities, in addition to required 24-hour skilled nursing, a licensed physician supervises individual patients. At nursing homes other than skilled nursing facilities, patients receive care from physicians not affiliated with the nursing home. These physicians are typically employed by a private agency that sends physicians to nursing homes per the request of the patient, nursing home, or patient’s family. The majority of these physicians are family medicine doctors or internists; however, some specialists such as cardiologists or nephrologists may also make independent visits to supplement their nursing care bd.
