Nanotechnology is being increasingly integrated into nursing practice for enhancing patient care. Some of the key applications include:
Drug Delivery Systems: Nanoparticles can be engineered to deliver medications directly to targeted cells, reducing side effects and increasing treatment efficacy. Diagnostic Tools: Nanotechnology enables the creation of more sensitive and precise diagnostic tools, such as nanosensors, which can detect diseases at an early stage. Wound Care: Nanomaterials are used in wound dressings to promote faster healing and prevent infections. Imaging Techniques: Nanoparticles improve the resolution and accuracy of imaging modalities like MRI, allowing for better diagnosis and monitoring.
