How is Expectant Management Implemented in Nursing?
Nurses play a crucial role in expectant management by:
Monitoring: Regularly assessing the patient's condition through vital signs, lab results, and physical assessments. Education: Providing education to patients and their families about the condition, what to expect, and when to seek immediate care. Communication: Maintaining open lines of communication with the healthcare team to ensure any changes in the patient's condition are promptly addressed. Documentation: Accurately documenting all observations and patient interactions to keep track of any changes over time.
