RNs will provide an intermediate level of care for patients who are not stable enough for a general medical-surgical floor but do not require the full intensity of an ICU.
Patients commonly include those recovering from major surgeries, serious medical conditions such as heart failure, respiratory issues, or infections, or those transitioning out of the ICU after stabilization.
The PCU is equipped for close monitoring, often including telemetry for cardiac observation, frequent vital sign checks, and rapid response to changes in condition.
RNs will provide continuous cardiac telemetry monitoring, frequent assessment of patient status, administration of medications and IV therapies, wound care, and pain management.
