Nurses look at the patient as a whole and make a nursing diagnosis, a standardized statement with
regard to the disease and what else is needed to help the patient cope and respond to the treatment.
This includes lifestyle issues, nutrition, and hygiene, as well as knowledge deficits. Armed with all
this information, the nurse sets out to educate the patient about his illness, the treatment modalities
necessary, and the expected response. The nurse also helps the patient to understand any possible side
effects and untoward signs and symptoms that should be reported to the doctor.
Nurses also work independently to provide case management, develop care standards, and improve
the quality of patient care. Additionally, they educate patients and family members about aspects of
health and wellness, taking responsibility for the patients’ own health and promoting awareness of
health care issues.
