Activities Performed by Nurses When Conducting a Hemodialysis Procedure

Abstract

Nurses have a major role in the dialysis team. Their activity is not limited to the execution of the physician’s orders, but also requires taking independent decisions, in view of their competences, to care for patients. Care, approach, attitude, and the related activities are specific and require a lot of attention, patience and love. The nurse performs various activities, has obligations and responsibilities that distinguish her from nurses, working in the other units of the hospital; the work is intense and mentally burdensome. Developing algorithms for nurse work in patient hemodialysis procedures is a way to standardize and improve the quality of health care. The introduction of algorithms increases the efficiency of medical care, optimizes the activity of nurses and the practical significance is determined by the ability to trace results and ensure a better organization of the workflow.
