What Should Nurses Monitor During Nerve Conduction Studies?
Nurses should monitor the following:
1. Patient Comfort: Continually assess and address any discomfort or anxiety the patient may experience. 2. Vital Signs: Keep an eye on the patient’s vital signs, especially if they have underlying health conditions that could be affected by the test. 3. Electrode Placement: Ensure that electrodes remain securely in place and are correctly positioned. 4. Communication: Maintain clear communication with the patient throughout the procedure to provide reassurance and instructions.
