How Can Musculoskeletal Disorders Be Minimized?

To prevent musculoskeletal disorders, nurses should:
Use mechanical lifting devices and transfer aids to move patients.
Maintain proper body mechanics by bending at the knees and keeping the back straight while lifting.
Seek assistance from colleagues when handling heavy patients.
Engage in regular physical exercises to strengthen core muscles and improve flexibility.
Implementing these practices can significantly reduce the risk of injury.
