What Interventions Can Nurses Implement to Improve Circulation?
Nurses can implement several interventions to improve circulation, such as:
Leg Elevation: Elevating the legs can help reduce swelling and promote venous return. Compression Therapy: Using compression stockings or wraps to enhance venous blood flow. Range of Motion Exercises: Encouraging patients to perform exercises to stimulate blood flow. Hydration: Ensuring adequate fluid intake to maintain blood volume and circulation. Smoking Cessation: Advising patients to quit smoking, as it negatively affects circulation.
