Physical rest is essential in nursing for several reasons:
Recovery: It helps the body repair tissues, build muscle, and synthesize proteins. Adequate rest is fundamental for patients recovering from surgeries or illnesses. Immune System Boost: Rest improves the immune system's functionality, making it easier for the body to fight off infections. Stress Reduction: Proper rest reduces physical and mental stress, which can have positive effects on blood pressure and mental health. Pain Management: Rest can help manage pain by reducing the strain on muscles and joints.
