Nurses should seek medical evaluation for patients in several situations:
Unexplained Symptoms: If a patient presents with new, unexplained symptoms such as severe pain, shortness of breath, or persistent fever. Changes in Condition: Any significant changes in a patient's condition, such as a sudden decrease in blood pressure or altered mental status. Non-Responsive to Treatment: When a patient does not respond to initial nursing interventions or prescribed treatments. Chronic Disease Management: For ongoing management of chronic conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease. Emergency Situations: In emergency situations where immediate medical intervention is required.
