What Is Skilled Nursing?

Skilled nursing is a term that applies to the provision of care delivered by licensed nursing professionals.  Individuals in need of skilled nursing care in Atlanta may require short-term or long-term care.  Common reasons for the need include recovery from a surgery or some type of illness.  Skilled pediatric nursing care solutions for infants and children are also offered for the medically frail patients.  In isolated cases, a professional may require supervision around the clock.   Those with serious health conditions may require the attention of RNs (Registered Nurses), LPNs (Licensed Practical Nurses), and CNAs (Certified Nursing Assistants).  This type of care is also administered by a licensed nursing professional.

 

Examples of Skilled Nursing Care

  • Skilled nurses perform medication administration.  A patient requires medications administered intravenously.  The licensed nurse dispenses medications in prescribed dosages to patient.
  • Trained nursing professionals tend to post-operative wounds.  Wounds that must dressed and monitored to track progress in healing falls under the category of skilled nursing care.
  • Skilled nurses monitor vital signs.  Under the guidance of a physician, specific instructions may require that a patient may be monitored.  Whether it’s about ensuring patient safety or gauging response to a new treatment protocol, licensed nurses manage the patient’s care experience.
