workflow and patient care. As the first line of care for
patients and vital to the efficient operation of the ward,
nurses play a critical role in the organisation of hospital
wards. Here are a few important functions that nurses
have in the management of wards.

families about their health, their treatment options, and

number of family members are involved, the
viewpoint changes to one that is more intimate and
linked; family members are viewed as an integral
element of the patient support network.

lifestyle modifications.
