bedside care
Sickbed medical attention
Bedside care is medical attention given directly at a patient's bed, typically in a hospital or home setting.
It encompasses hands-on nursing tasks—checking vitals, administering medication, repositioning patients, and providing comfort.
A doctor with good bedside manner communicates well with patients; bedside care is the physical counterpart to that interpersonal skill.
