This role involves maintaining visual and sometimes verbal contact at all times, documenting observations, and promptly reporting any changes in a patient’s condition to the nursing staff. You may assist with basic patient needs under supervision while maintaining professional boundaries. Constant Observers usually work alongside nursing teams, contributing to a safe and supportive environment for vulnerable patients.
