The RN’s practice is guided by the ANA Standard for Professional Nurse and the Code of Ethics. The RN has knowledge of professional nursing principles, practices, concepts, and procedures as applied to the care of the patient population served. The RN records patients’ medical history and symptoms, helps perform diagnostic tests and analyze results, operates medical equipment, administers treatment and medications, and helps with patient follow‑up and rehabilitation.

The RN establishes a care plan or contributes to an existing plan. The plan may include activities such as administering medication (including careful checking of dosages and avoiding interactions), starting, maintaining, and discontinuing intravenous (IV) lines for fluid, medication, blood, and blood products, administering therapies and treatments, observing the patient and recording observations, and consulting with physicians and other healthcare clinicians.

The RN teaches patients and their families how to manage their illnesses or injuries, explains post‑treatment and home care needs, diet, nutrition, and exercise programs, and self‑administration of medication and therapy. The RN provides direction to licensed practical nurses and nursing aides regarding patient care and delegates when appropriate. The RN supports efforts to advance clinical knowledge and skills, precepts new hire staff and students, and assists the staff and students to seek and complete the tasks required to complete their competency skills.

The RN continues to enhance their knowledge in nursing management and care of patient problems and conditions as required, and may continue to improve the patients’ outcomes.
