The Registered Nurse (RN) in collaboration with the physician and other health care providers, provides direct and indirect patient care. The RN will carry out functions within the scope of their professional license. The RN is responsible for providing care that addresses clinical, service and education outcomes of care. The job requires the employee to be responsible for the assessment, treatment care and education of patients of all ages. Consequently, the employee must be competent in the interpretation of a patient's self-report, behavior and physical symptoms and this information must be interpreted with an understanding of the cognitive, physical, emotional, and chronological maturation process. The treatment of patients should be individualized and should reflect an understanding of the patient's developmental, pathophysiological, cultural psychosocial and treatment needs for each patient. The RN acts as the patient advocate, as circumstances require, by initiating action to improve health care or to change decisions or activities which are against the interests or wishes of the client, and by giving the client the opportunity to make informed decisions about health care before it is provided.
