How Should Nurses Educate Immunocompromised Patients and Their Families?
Education is a vital aspect of care. Nurses should:
Explain the importance of avoiding contact with sick individuals. Provide guidance on proper handwashing techniques and the use of hand sanitizers. Instruct on the proper handling and preparation of food to avoid foodborne illnesses. Discuss the importance of adhering to prescribed medications and follow-up appointments. Advise on the recognition of early signs of infection and when to seek medical attention.
