Nurses interact with bedside monitors in several ways:
1. Setup and calibration: Nurses are responsible for setting up the monitor and ensuring that it is calibrated correctly to provide accurate readings. 2. Data interpretation: Nurses must be adept at interpreting the data displayed on the monitor to make informed clinical decisions. 3. Responding to alarms: Quick and appropriate responses to alarms are crucial. Nurses must assess the situation and take necessary actions based on the monitor's alerts. 4. Documentation: Nurses often need to document the readings and any interventions taken in the patient's medical records.
