Registered nurses are responsible for conducting a comprehensive assessment of the patient's health status. This includes evaluating their physical, emotional, and social well-being, as well as identifying any health concerns that need to be addressed.

Based on the assessment, the registered nurse develops a customized care plan that outlines the patient's specific needs and goals. The care plan may include medication management, wound care, symptom management, and other types of care.

Registered nurses work closely with other members of the healthcare team, including doctors, therapists, and caregivers, to ensure that the patient's needs are being met. They also communicate regularly with the patient and their family members to provide updates on the patient's condition and progress.

Registered nurses are responsible for administering treatments and medications as prescribed by the patient's doctor. They also monitor the patient's response to treatment and make adjustments as needed.

Registered nurses provide education and support to the patient and their family members to help them better understand the patient's health condition and how to manage it. They also teach patients and their families how to perform certain tasks, such as changing dressings or administering medications.

Registered nurses act as advocates for their patients, ensuring that their rights and preferences are respected and that they receive the care they need and deserve.
