What Preventative Measures Can Nurses Recommend for Skin Health?
For maintaining skin health, nurses can recommend various preventative measures, such as using sunscreen to protect against UV radiation, moisturizing regularly to prevent dryness, and maintaining proper hygiene. Educating patients on the importance of a balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin E and C, can also promote skin health. In cases of bedbound patients, regular repositioning and the use of pressure-relieving devices can prevent pressure ulcers.
