    Consulate Health Care of Orange Park
    I assist patients by answering call signals, signal lights, bells, or intercom systems to determine patients' needs. I'm able to effectively communicate with patients that are very demanding that others staff member have a difficult time communicating with. Review patients' dietary restrictions, food allergies, and preferences to ensure patient receives appropriate diet. Measure and record food and liquid intake or urinary and fecal output, reporting changes to medical or nursing staff. I also encourage staff members to work together as a team to provide excellent patient care. Record vital signs, such as temperature, blood pressure, pulse, or respiration rate, as directed by medical or nursing staff. Observe or examine patients to detect symptoms that may require medical attention, such as bruises, open wounds, or blood in urine. I'm dependable to my nurse during observation of a patient that health is deteriorating.
