Nursing in Ibiza

• The following are some of the functions performed by nursing professionals:
• Medication administration: One of the fundamental responsibilities of nursing staff is the administration of medications, whether orally, intravenously or intramuscularly. They are also responsible for monitoring dosage and frequency, ensuring compliance with the prescribed treatment.
• Performance of diagnostic tests: Nurses may carry out tests such as measuring blood pressure, heart rate or body temperature, contributing to the monitoring of the patient’s condition. They also collect blood or urine samples for laboratory analysis, helping to detect or rule out possible conditions before referring the patient to a hospital if necessary.
• Wound care: The nursing staff is trained to perform dressings and bandages, both in acute wounds and in post-surgical recovery processes. These tasks include the application of creams, medications and the application of wound-specific dressings.
• Health counselling: Nurses also provide guidance to patients on how to manage their daily health, offering recommendations on diet, physical activity and proper follow-up of medical treatments.
