Nurses employ various types of comforting touch based on the needs and conditions of their patients:
Holding Hands: A simple yet powerful gesture that can convey deep empathy and support. Gentle Stroking: Often used to soothe patients who are anxious or in pain. Massage: Professional therapeutic massage can improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, and promote relaxation. Positioning Assistance: Helping patients move or change positions to improve comfort and prevent bedsores.
