Cardiac Nursing
Cardiac nursing is a specialized field of nursing focused on the care of patients with heart-related conditions. This includes monitoring vital signs, administering medications, and providing education about heart health. Cardiac nurses work in various settings, such as hospitals, clinics, and rehabilitation centers, to support patients recovering from heart surgeries or managing chronic conditions like heart failure and coronary artery disease.
In addition to direct patient care, cardiac nurses collaborate with a team of healthcare professionals, including cardiologists and dietitians, to develop comprehensive care plans. They also play a crucial role in patient education, helping individuals understand their conditions and the importance of lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise, to improve heart health.
