    ROLE OF NURSE-----

    The primary role of a nurse is to advocate and care for individuals of all ethnic origins and

    8-Provide support and advice to patients

    Patient Care
    A nurse is a caregiver for patients and helps to manage physical needs, prevent illness, and
    treat health conditions. To do this, they need to observe and monitor the patient, recording any
    relevant information to aid in treatment decision-making.

    Throughout the treatment process, the nurse follows the progress of the patient and acts
    accordingly with the patient’s best interests in mind. The care provided by a nurse extends
    beyond the administration of medications and other therapies. They are responsible for the
    holistic care of patients, which encompasses the psychosocial, developmental, cultural, and
    spiritual needs of the individual.

    Patient Advocacy
    The patient is the first priority of the nurse. The role of the nurse is to advocate for the best
    interests of the patient and to maintain the patient’s dignity throughout treatment and care. This
    may include making suggestions in the treatment plan of patients, in collaboration with other
    health professionals.
    . It is the role of the nurse to support the patient and represent the patients best interests at all
    times, especially when treatment decisions are being made.
    Planning of Care
    A nurse is directly involved in the decision-making process for the treatment of patients. It is
    important that they are able to think critically when assessing patient signs and identifying
    potential problems so that they can make the appropriate recommendations and actions.
    Nurses are the most familiar with the individual patient situation as they monitor their signs and
    symptoms on an ongoing basis and should collaborate with other members of the medical team
    to promote the best patient health outcomes.

    Patient Educationand Support


    Nurses are also responsible for ensuring that patients are able to understand their health,
    illnesses, medications, and treatments to the best of their ability. This is of essence when
    patients are discharged from hospital and will need to take control of their own treatments.

    A nurse should take the time to explain to the patient and their family or caregiver what to do
    and what to expect when they leave the hospital or medical clinic. They should also make sure
    that the patient feels supported and knows where to seek additional information, if needed it is
    crucial.
