To maintain better posture, nurses can incorporate the following practices:
Ergonomics: Adjust the height of beds, chairs, and other equipment to reduce the need for awkward postures. Strength Training: Engage in regular exercise to strengthen the core, back, and leg muscles. Frequent Breaks: Take short breaks to stretch and change positions, especially during long shifts. Proper Footwear: Wear supportive shoes to reduce strain on the back and legs.
