assisting their patients The use of a robot, as opposed to a mini-lifting machine is intended to make the
process a bit less intimidating for the patient.
‘Stan the Man’ – which is used to train nurses and health professionals. The robot is designed to respond to
various treatments applied by the trainee nurse. Rapid elimination of disease. robots might also produce

nurses can use to provide quality nursing care for individuals with critical or chronic illnesses or
people seeking health promotion and health maintenance services.

committee within the organization and also interacting with other organizations to bring out
positive changes. Proper job descriptions and job satisfaction will make the work of a nurse easier
