Nurses often face several types of injuries, including:
1. Musculoskeletal Injuries: These are the most common and include back injuries, shoulder strains, and knee problems, often caused by lifting and transferring patients. 2. Needlestick Injuries: These can expose nurses to bloodborne pathogens, leading to serious infections. 3. Slips, Trips, and Falls: These injuries can occur due to wet floors, cluttered environments, or improper footwear. 4. Violence-Related Injuries: Nurses may experience injuries from aggressive patients or visitors.
