Dexterity is essential in nursing for several reasons:
1. Accuracy: Precise movements are necessary for tasks like drawing blood, inserting catheters, and performing surgical procedures. 2. Efficiency: Being able to execute tasks quickly and effectively reduces the time patients spend in discomfort and allows for better time management. 3. Safety: Proper handling of sharp instruments, needles, and other medical tools reduces the risk of injury to both the nurse and the patient.
