If it is not possible to visit the clinic to undergo some therapeutic and preventive procedures, it is very important not to harm yourself by trying to perform all manipulations yourself or with the help of loved ones who do not have specialized education. In such cases, the best option may be to call a nurse at home. The specialist will be able to carry out the necessary procedures efficiently and safely, eliminating all possible risks.

ADVANTAGES OF CALLING A NURSE AT HOME

By calling a nurse at home, the patient receives a number of advantages and saves himself from the inconveniences associated with visiting the clinic. This is especially true for people who are forced by the disease to stay at home all the time.

Advantages of calling a nurse:

  • exclusion of contact with sick people in the clinic;
  • the exact appointment of the time of the visit;
  • no need to go outside;
  • complete rest during and after all actions;
  • the professionalism of the nurse when performing procedures.
  • The advantages also include the fact that after some injections, the patient is recommended to minimize physical activity. When visiting the clinic on your own, difficulties may arise with this, because after that you still need to get home.

When you may need to call a nurse

You can call a nurse even if the patient can visit the clinic on his own but just does not want to waste time. However, most often such a service has to be used by those who are unable to leave the house.

The main cases you’ll need a nurse at home are the following:

  • a previously received injury that creates risks and inconveniences when going outside;
  • the postoperative period in the first stages of rehabilitation after discharge;
  • elderly age, difficulty walking or disorders of the musculoskeletal system;
  • a serious state of health, the need for complete rest.
  • If the procedures need to be carried out regularly, then it makes sense to agree on permanent care at the same time. This will guarantee that a specialist will always arrive at the appointed time and do everything that is necessary.

 

Available procedures

Calling a nurse at home, the patient can order any of the available procedures and assign the exact time when it will be convenient for him. However, for some manipulations and the use of a number of drugs, you will need to have a valid prescription from your attending physician.

What procedures can a nurse perform at home:

  • Installing an IV. The nurse sets up a special high rack on which there is a container with a medical device. The patient is provided with rest and necessary care for the duration of the procedure, while he does not experience pain or discomfort. If it is possible and necessary, the nurse can contact and consult with the attending physician. Interaction with a specialist will allow you to control the procedure and its duration as accurately as possible.

  • Intramuscular injections. Injections are given using sterile instruments and without any negative consequences in the form of hematomas or abscesses, which is difficult to avoid if you carry out the procedure yourself. Also, when an injection is administered by an experienced person, painful sensations are excluded. When the necessary drug is not available, the nurse can be asked to bring it with her in the right amount, but within the prescription prescribed by the attending physician.

A nurse can also be called to the house to collect biomaterials for analysis. All procedures are carried out with special attention to antiseptic measures. The obtained materials are placed in specialized containers inside containers, after which they are taken to the laboratory for research. The timing of the results depends on the type of diagnosis and requires additional clarification in the clinic. To get acquainted with them, you also do not have to leave your home.

If there is no possibility to visit the clinic on your own, then calling a nurse at home will be the only right option. This approach will ensure the safe and effective conduct of all necessary procedures and a professional view from a specialist, which will avoid the unpleasant consequences of independent manipulations.
