The recline function is essential in nursing for several reasons:
Pressure Ulcer Prevention: Changing the patient's position helps distribute weight more evenly, reducing the risk of pressure ulcers. Respiratory Benefits: Elevating the head can improve respiratory function by reducing the risk of aspiration and helping with conditions like COPD. Circulatory Health: Adjusting the recline can enhance blood circulation, preventing conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Patient Comfort: It provides a more comfortable resting position, which can be crucial for patients with chronic pain or those recovering from surgery.
