CHF, and GI bleeds. All beds are equipped to provide continuous cardiac and
pulse oximetry bedside monitoring, and nurses are essential in managing
high-risk medications and performing in-depth discharge teaching. Nurses work
with the interdisciplinary team - including physicians, pharmacists, and nurse
