Nurses play a pivotal role in adjusting treatment by:
- Collaborating with the healthcare team: Nurses communicate their observations and concerns with physicians and other healthcare providers to facilitate informed decision-making. - Educating patients: Informing patients about their treatment options and potential adjustments helps in shared decision-making. - Implementing changes: Nurses often initiate and carry out adjustments in medication dosages, therapy schedules, and other aspects of care. - Documentation: Keeping detailed records of any changes in treatment and the patient’s response ensures continuity and quality of care.
