Nurses play a significant role in educating patients about hygiene practices to prevent infections.
1. Patient Education: Teach patients the importance of hand hygiene, respiratory hygiene, and personal cleanliness. 2. Assisting with Hygiene: Help patients with daily hygiene tasks such as bathing, oral care, and toileting when they are unable to do so themselves. 3. Encouraging Compliance: Encourage patients to follow hygiene protocols during their hospital stay and after discharge.
