The RN evaluates the effects of the care given and regularly re-evaluates the client's nursing needs. They also evaluate and revise the Care Plan as necessary. The RN makes referrals to other agencies or services as needed and coordinates the care of all assigned clients. They prepare written instructions for the Care Aide and supervise them in the home. The RN instructs Care Aides in the proper use of practices, procedures, and equipment.
