How Can Nurses Encourage Self-Care in Skin Drying?
For patients able to participate in their own care, nurses can educate them on the importance of skin drying and demonstrate proper techniques. Encouraging the use of soft, absorbent towels and moisture-wicking materials can empower patients to maintain their skin health. Providing easy access to drying supplies and emphasizing the importance of drying after bathing or exposure to moisture are also key.
