Breath tests are crucial for nurses for several reasons:
- Non-Invasive: They offer a non-invasive alternative to more invasive procedures like endoscopies. - Ease of Use: Breath tests are relatively simple to administer and can be performed in various settings, including bedside or outpatient clinics. - Early Detection: They allow for the early detection of conditions, enabling timely intervention and management. - Patient Comfort: Being non-invasive, these tests generally cause less discomfort and anxiety for patients.
