What does a cna do in telemetry?

A Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) in telemetry assists nursing staff in monitoring patients with cardiac conditions by observing vital signs and interpreting telemetry readings. They help in the placement and maintenance of cardiac monitors, ensuring that equipment is functioning properly. CNAs also support patients with daily activities, provide comfort, and communicate any significant changes in a patient's condition to the nursing team. Their role is vital in creating a safe and supportive environment for patients undergoing cardiac care.
