Provide basic bedside care; stabilize critical cardiac patients.

Change dressings, insert catheters and start IVs.

Prepare, administer and record prescribed medication, reporting any adverse reactions to treatment.

Initiate corrective action whenever monitoring equipment shows adverse symptomatology.
