How Can Nurses Educate Patients About the Risks of Smoking?
Education is a key component of smoking cessation efforts. Nurses can inform patients about the short-term and long-term health risks associated with smoking. They can use visual aids, brochures, and digital resources to illustrate the impact of smoking on the body. Additionally, nurses can discuss the benefits of quitting, such as improved lung function, reduced risk of heart disease, and better overall health.
