What is the Nurse’s Role in Managing Endocarditis?
Nurses play a critical role in both the acute and long-term management of endocarditis. Key responsibilities include:
Administering prescribed antibiotics and monitoring for adverse reactions. Regularly assessing vital signs and symptoms to detect complications early. Educating patients and their families about the importance of medication adherence and follow-up appointments. Ensuring proper aseptic techniques during intravenous line insertion and care to prevent further infections.
