What is the Nurse's Role in Promoting a Healing Environment?
Nurses are pivotal in creating a healing environment that promotes comfort. This involves:
- Advocacy: Advocating for patient needs and preferences to ensure they receive the best possible care. - Education: Educating patients about their conditions and treatments to reduce anxiety and empower them to take an active role in their care. - Holistic Care: Providing holistic care that addresses physical, emotional, social, and spiritual needs. - Continuous Assessment: Regularly assessing patient comfort levels and making necessary adjustments to their care plan.
