  • Safely administer prescribed medications (oral, IV, subcutaneous, intramuscular) and monitor for adverse effects or allergic reactions

  • Act as a liaison between patients, families, and the healthcare team to ensure the patient's needs are met

  • Provide patient education on their condition, treatment options, and lifestyle adjustments to support recovery and prevent readmission.

  • Communicate effectively with doctors, specialists, physical therapists, and social workers to develop and adjust care plans
