What are the Nursing Considerations for Assistive Rails?
Nurses play a vital role in the effective use of assistive rails:
Patient Assessment: Nurses should assess each patient's mobility needs and recommend the appropriate type and placement of rails. Education: Educating patients and their families on the proper use of assistive rails to ensure safety and maximize benefits. Monitoring: Regularly monitoring the condition of rails and the patient's use of them to prevent accidents and ensure ongoing support.
