The organization of proper patient care in hospitals is one of the important measures in improving the quality of medical work. Experience has shown that the existing three-level service system in our country, when a doctor, a nurse and a nurse are involved in patient care, has a number of drawbacks, taking into account which the USSR Ministry of Health issued an order to switch to a two-level system of patient care in hospitals. Under this system, a nurse is fully caring for the patient, and the nurses are assigned the duties of a cleaner and, in some cases, help a nurse in making beds, changing linen, shifting seriously ill patients and performing other similar tasks.
