Nurses can integrate aromatherapy into patient care by:
- Education: Taking courses or certifications in aromatherapy to understand the safe and effective use of essential oils. - Patient Assessment: Evaluating the patient's needs and preferences before selecting an essential oil. - Collaboration: Working with a multidisciplinary team, including doctors and aromatherapists, to create a comprehensive care plan. - Documentation: Recording the type of essential oil used, method of administration, and patient's response in the medical records.
