1. Patient care: Nurses are responsible for directly caring for patients, including checking vital signs, administering drugs, treating wounds and changing bandages. They need to provide safe and high-quality care and give emotional support to patients.
2. Health education: Nurses not only provide care for patients when they are admitted to hospital, but also provide health education for patients to help them better manage diseases and promote health. Nurses will explain their illness or surgical process to patients and provide relevant self-care guidance.
3. Clinical coordination: In the medical team, nurses usually work closely with doctors, pharmacists and other medical personnel. They will hold a meeting to coordinate the nursing plan and ensure the smooth implementation and information sharing.
4. Health assessment and monitoring: Nursing professionals are responsible for comprehensive health assessment of patients, including physical and psychological assessment. They will also actively monitor the patient's condition, report to the doctor in time, and intervene and treat.
5. Research and academic work: Some nurses are engaged in research and academic work in the nursing profession. They are committed to understanding nursing practice, constantly improving nursing techniques and methods, and sharing their research results by publishing papers and attending academic conferences.
