Medical-surgical nursing is a fundamental specialty within the nursing field, focusing on providing care to adult patients undergoing surgical procedures or those with medical conditions. Medical-surgical nurses assess patients' health status, develop and implement care plans, and monitor recovery post-surgery or during illness. They administer medications, manage pain, and provide education about self-care and recovery strategies. These nurses work in diverse healthcare settings, including hospitals, outpatient clinics, and rehabilitation centers, often collaborating with physicians and other healthcare professionals. Their role requires critical thinking, strong clinical skills, and the ability to respond to a variety of patient needs, ensuring safe, effective care throughout the patient’s healthcare journey.
