Nursing role in caring and educating patients with Heart Failure ( second part ) بالانجليزية

    The nurses are essential in the care of patients suffering from heart failure (HF) and their management. The primary goals of care for patients with HF include relieving their symptoms, improving their quality of life, prolonging their lives, and reducing hospital admissions associated with this condition. The nurses are responsible for assessing signs and symptoms, and providing education to patients and their families on self-care and lifestyle changes. This includes advice on smoking, diet, alcohol consumption, medication and device use, stress management, weight monitoring, sodium and fluid restrictions, recognizing worsening symptoms, regular exercise, and follow‐up appointment. Individuals with HF and their support networks must also learn about the condition, medical devices, other treatments and technologies needed to manage HF such as mechanical circulatory support and heart transplantation. Nurses also need to be prepared to offer end-of-life care and support to both the patient and their loved ones.
