Knowledge of anatomy is crucial for nurses for several reasons:
Assessment: Accurate physical assessments depend on understanding normal and abnormal anatomical structures. Interventions: Administering treatments such as injections, wound care, and catheterizations requires precise anatomical knowledge. Communication: Effective communication with healthcare teams necessitates a shared understanding of anatomical terms. Patient Education: Nurses educate patients about their conditions and treatments, which involves explaining anatomy in understandable terms.
