During breaks, nurses should engage in activities that help them relax and recharge:
Physical Activity: Taking a walk, stretching, or doing light exercises can alleviate muscle tension and improve circulation. Hydration and Nutrition: Drinking water and having a healthy snack can replenish energy levels. Mental Relaxation: Practicing mindfulness, deep breathing exercises, or listening to calming music can reduce stress. Social Interaction: Engaging in brief conversations with colleagues can provide emotional support and reduce feelings of isolation.
