Immunizations
Nurses administer vaccines to prevent infectious diseases such as influenza, measles, and hepatitis. Immunizations are essential for both individual and public health, reducing the spread of contagious diseases.
Screenings
Nurses conduct various health screenings, such as blood pressure checks, cholesterol tests, and cancer screenings. These screenings help in the early detection of health issues, allowing for prompt treatment and better outcomes.
Health Education and Counseling
Nurses provide education on a range of topics, including nutrition, exercise, smoking cessation, and stress management. They also offer counseling services to help patients make informed decisions about their health.
Chronic Disease Management
For patients with chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or asthma, nurses offer ongoing monitoring and education to manage these diseases effectively and prevent complications.
