How Can Nurses Help Prevent Skin Issues in Fair-Skinned Patients?
Nurses play a key role in educating patients about skin care and protection. Recommendations include:
Sunscreen Use: Advising the use of broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of 30 or higher. Protective Clothing: Encouraging the wearing of hats, long sleeves, and sunglasses. Seeking Shade: Recommending avoidance of sun exposure, especially during peak hours (10 AM to 4 PM). Regular Skin Checks: Suggesting routine skin examinations to detect any early signs of skin problems.
