Nurses play a crucial role in the management and prevention of malaria. Their responsibilities include:
Educating patients and communities about malaria prevention, such as the use of insecticide-treated bed nets and indoor spraying. Identifying and recognizing symptoms early to ensure prompt treatment. Administering anti-malarial medications as prescribed and monitoring patient responses. Providing supportive care, such as hydration and pain management, to alleviate symptoms. Recording and reporting cases to public health authorities for tracking and control efforts.
