Grooming plays a crucial role in nursing for several reasons: - Promotes Physical Health: Regular grooming helps in reducing the risk of infections, particularly skin infections. Proper oral care prevents gum diseases and cavities. - Enhances Mental and Emotional Well-being: Good grooming practices can improve a patient’s self-esteem and mental health, reducing feelings of depression and anxiety. - Encourages Social Interaction: Well-groomed patients are more likely to engage in social activities, which can be vital for their emotional and psychological health.
