- Providing proper systematic and comprehensive nursing care is crucial for holistic patient management in hospitals. Nursing plays a vital role in providing comprehensive healthcare to individuals with various illnesses, including those in the maxillofacial and medical fields. Maxillofacial nursing specializes in caring for patients with head, face, neck, and oral cavity injuries, diseases, or surgical conditions. This article explores the differences in nursing performance between these two areas, focusing on clinical skills, communication, documentation, and quality of care. It emphasizes the importance of specialized training and interdisciplinary collaboration to optimize nursing performance in maxillofacial settings. Understanding and appreciating the unique challenges faced by healthcare professionals across specialties are essential for scholars.
