Nurses use anatomy in various practical applications:
Vital Signs: Measuring blood pressure, pulse, and respiratory rates requires knowing the locations of major arteries and veins. IV Insertions: Placing an intravenous (IV) line involves identifying veins and understanding the circulatory system. Wound Care: Dressing and treating wounds requires knowledge of skin layers and underlying structures. Administering Medications: Intramuscular and subcutaneous injections require precise anatomical landmarks to avoid complications.
