Nurses contribute significantly to healthcare outcomes through direct patient care, health education, and advocacy. They play a crucial role in disease prevention, health promotion, and the management of chronic conditions. By providing continuous care, monitoring patient progress, and identifying potential health issues early, nurses can reduce hospital readmissions, shorten hospital stays, and lower healthcare costs. Additionally, nurses' expertise in medication management and their ability to coordinate care among different healthcare providers ensure comprehensive and cohesive care for patients.
