A nurse has many responsibilities to take care of while providing palliative care to your elder. She will monitor the symptoms of the condition regularly and evaluate how the health of the patient is improving. It is her job to see that proper care is being given every day. She takes care of communicating the daily reports and the evaluation with the doctors daily. If the patient needs to communicate something to the doctors or the hospital, that's her responsibility too. From the patient's medication schedule to their everyday tasks - the nurse takes care of all. She is the one who will help your elder in bathing, eating, getting on and off from the bed, going to the washroom, going for daily walks, dressing up, etc. Additionally, it is the nurse's job to ensure the patient and their family are comfortable and safe.
