You can do many things as a nurse to improve the health of your patient. You can perform the following common nursing interventions:

1. Assessing the patient: Nurses assess the patient’s physical, emotional, and mental health status to determine appropriate interventions.
2. Administering medication: Nursing staff administer medications in accordance with physician orders, and they monitor patients for adverse effects.
