What Role Do Nurses Play in Patient Education for Skin Care?
Nurses play a pivotal role in educating patients and their families about proper skin care practices. This includes:
Teaching about the importance of regular skin inspections. Advising on the use of moisturizers and barrier creams. Instructing on the signs of infection and when to seek medical attention. Providing dietary advice to support skin health.
Effective education helps empower patients to take an active role in their skin care, potentially preventing complications.
