Assistive devices are crucial in nursing for several reasons:
- Enhancing Mobility: Mobility aids help patients move around safely and independently. - Improving Communication: Communication aids enable patients with speech or hearing impairments to express their needs and interact with others. - Promoting Independence: Daily living aids assist patients in performing everyday activities, reducing their reliance on caregivers. - Increasing Safety: Devices like grab bars and shower chairs help prevent falls and other injuries. - Boosting Confidence: The use of assistive devices can improve a patient's self-esteem by allowing them to participate in activities they enjoy.
