• Monitor vitals, temperature, and cardiac status per policy.
• Insert, maintain, and remove IV catheters and saline locks correctly.
• Do a full head to toe evaluation using an approved scoring system, documenting everything per HCA policy.

• Make sure patients meet discharge criteria before they leave.
