How Can Nurses Apply Physiology Knowledge in Patient Care?
Nurses apply their physiology knowledge in various ways, such as:
- Medication Administration: Understanding how drugs interact with the body and monitoring for side effects. - Patient Education: Teaching patients about their health conditions and how to manage them. - Care Planning: Developing individualized care plans based on patients' physiological needs. - Emergency Response: Quickly recognizing and responding to acute physiological changes, like in cases of shock or respiratory distress.
