Nurses can promote independence by: 1. Education: Providing patients with information and resources to manage their health conditions. 2. Encouragement: Encouraging patients to participate in their care routines and make decisions about their treatment plans. 3. Skills Training: Teaching patients skills that enhance their ability to perform daily activities independently. 4. Support Systems: Connecting patients with community resources and support groups. 5. Adaptation: Modifying the environment or using assistive devices to help patients perform tasks independently.
