Nurses contribute to healthcare decisions through several roles:
Patient Advocacy: Nurses act as advocates for their patients, ensuring that their needs and preferences are considered in the decision-making process. Education: Nurses educate patients about their conditions, treatment options, and potential outcomes, enabling them to make informed choices. Assessment and Monitoring: Nurses continuously assess and monitor patients, providing valuable data that informs healthcare decisions. Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Nurses collaborate with other healthcare professionals, such as doctors and physical therapists, to develop comprehensive care plans.
