What are the Nursing Responsibilities During CRPs?
Nurses must ensure the patient is comfortable and understands the procedure. Key responsibilities include:
- Assessment: Evaluate the patient's symptoms and medical history to confirm a BPPV diagnosis. - Preparation: Explain the procedure, potential side effects, and importance of remaining still. - Execution: Perform the maneuver accurately and monitor the patient for adverse reactions. - Post-Procedure Care: Advise the patient to avoid lying flat for 24-48 hours and recommend follow-up care if symptoms persist.
