Nurses use a variety of methods to monitor recovery:
- Physical Examinations: Regular physical exams to check for any abnormalities. - Patient Interviews: Asking the patient about their symptoms, pain levels, and overall well-being. - Diagnostic Tests: Utilizing lab tests and imaging studies to gather more information about the patient's condition. - Electronic Health Records (EHRs): Keeping detailed records of the patient's progress and any interventions. - Patient Education: Teaching patients and their families about signs to watch for and how to manage their condition at home.
