Why is Radiographic Confirmation Important in Nursing?
Radiographic confirmation is essential for several reasons: - Accuracy: Ensures the correct placement of devices like nasogastric tubes, central venous catheters, and endotracheal tubes. - Diagnosis: Helps in diagnosing conditions such as pneumonia, fractures, and pulmonary embolism. - Complications: Identifies potential complications early, such as misplaced tubes or pneumothorax.
