Hi! I'm Working On A Research Paper For My Nursing

Hi! I'm working on a research paper for my nursing assistant class. It is on the role of the CNA when caring for a patient who has had an MI. Any thoughts? I already have written about 1) monitor incision sites of catherization for bleeding. 2) monitor fluid intake and output and watch for signs of edema. 3) record O2, B/P, pulse (although much of this is automated) and ensure heart monitor leads stay connected or are immediately connected after cares. 3) monitor mood for anxiety and depression 4) ensure leg exercises (if ordered) are done and TEDs or other compression devices are used. 5) stay alert and ready, but out of the way of doctors and nurses as every minute matters.
