1. [Patient Education](): Teaching patients about healthy lifestyle choices, such as a balanced diet, regular exercise, and smoking cessation. 2. [Medication Management](): Ensuring patients take their prescribed medications correctly and understand their purpose. 3. [Monitoring Vital Signs](): Regularly checking blood pressure, heart rate, oxygen saturation, and respiratory rate. 4.
