What role do nurses play in managing recent infections?
Nurses play a pivotal role in managing infections by:
1. Providing direct patient care: Administering medications, monitoring symptoms, and delivering supportive care. 2. Educating patients and families: Offering guidance on infection prevention, symptom management, and the importance of vaccination. 3. Implementing IPC measures: Ensuring adherence to hand hygiene, PPE use, and isolation protocols. 4. Participating in surveillance: Monitoring and reporting infection rates and trends within healthcare settings.
