Feedback:
The nurse should keep the elbows flexed no more than 100° to 110° or use wrist rests to keep the wrists in a neutral position when working at a computer. The nurse should also work under nonglare lighting to avoid eye strain. Craning the neck sideways is not an ergonomic recommendation. Assistive devices are not relevant to computer work.
