Nurses play a crucial role in assessing a patient's susceptibility to health issues. This assessment can be carried out through:
Medical History: Reviewing the patient's medical history for chronic conditions and previous infections. Physical Examination: Conducting thorough physical examinations to identify signs of vulnerability. Diagnostic Tests: Utilizing diagnostic tests such as blood tests, cultures, and imaging studies to detect underlying issues. Patient Interviews: Talking to patients about their lifestyle choices, living conditions, and any recent changes in health.
