Nurses employ various methods to monitor patient progress, including:
- Vital signs monitoring: Regular checks of blood pressure, heart rate, temperature, and respiratory rate provide critical information. - Physical assessments: These include observing and evaluating the patient's physical condition and symptoms. - Patient interviews: Engaging with patients to gather subjective data about their experience with the treatment. - Diagnostic tests: Lab results, imaging studies, and other diagnostic tools are essential in assessing the effectiveness of the treatment.
