Nurses can take several actions to promote structural integrity:
1. Skin Care: Regular cleansing and moisturizing to keep skin healthy and intact. 2. Repositioning Patients: Moving bedridden patients every two hours to prevent pressure ulcers. 3. Nutrition: Ensuring patients receive adequate nutrients, particularly protein and vitamins, to support tissue repair. 4. Education: Teaching patients and caregivers about proper wound care, hygiene, and the importance of mobility.
