Nurses can implement a variety of interventions to promote comfort:
Pain Management: Administering prescribed medications and employing non-pharmacological methods such as heat/cold therapy. Positioning: Repositioning the patient to alleviate pressure and improve circulation. Environmental Control: Adjusting room temperature, lighting, and noise levels. Emotional Support: Providing reassurance, listening actively, and addressing any concerns or anxieties. Hygiene and Skin Care: Ensuring the patient is clean and dry to prevent infections and skin breakdown.
