Scalp care is vital in nursing due to several reasons. Firstly, the scalp is highly vascular, meaning it can easily bleed and get infected if injured. Secondly, conditions like scalp infections or infestations (e.g., lice) can cause significant discomfort and lead to more severe health issues. Moreover, the scalp's health is closely linked to hair health, impacting a patient's self-esteem and quality of life.
