What Role Does Equipment Play in Maintaining Posture?
The use of appropriate equipment can significantly impact a nurse's posture:
Ergonomic Chairs: These chairs provide proper support to the lower back and can be adjusted to fit the individual's needs. Height-Adjustable Beds: Beds that can be adjusted to the nurse's height reduce the need for bending and straining. Patient Lifting Devices: Devices like hoists and transfer belts can help safely move patients, reducing the physical strain on nurses.
