To promote stability, nurses can implement several strategies:
Strengthening Exercises: Exercises focusing on core strength and lower body muscles can improve stability. Balance Training: Activities such as standing on one leg, heel-to-toe walking, and using balance boards. Environmental Modifications: Ensuring the patient's environment is free of hazards that could lead to falls, such as loose rugs and poor lighting. Footwear Recommendations: Advising patients on appropriate footwear that provides good support and reduces the risk of slipping.
