Nursing care involves comprehensive and continuous care provided by registered nurses (RNs), licensed practical nurses (LPNs), and other healthcare professionals to support patients' health and well-being. Here's an overview of nursing care:

Key Components of Nursing Care
Assessment:
Thorough evaluation of a patient’s physical, psychological, and social health. Regular monitoring of vital signs and symptoms to detect changes in the patient’s condition.
Diagnosis:
Identifying patient issues based on assessment data. Formulating nursing diagnoses to guide the care plan.
Planning:
Developing a patient-centered care plan with specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) goals. Coordinating with other healthcare professionals to ensure comprehensive care.
Implementation:
Executing the care plan by performing interventions such as administering medications, wound care, and providing patient education. Ensuring proper hygiene, nutrition, and mobility for the patient.
Evaluation:
Assessing the effectiveness of interventions and adjusting the care plan as needed based on patient outcomes.
