The nurse who uses the computer during client care notices increased eyestrain since the organization began using the electronic medical record for nursing documentation

Which action by the nurse would minimize the eyestrain experienced during documentation?
A) Use a firm board to rest the palm.
B) Use a glare filter.
C) Obtain a paper chart for nursing documentation.
D) Use a lumbar support.


Answer: B

A glare filter may decrease the eyestrain that the nurse is experiencing. The nurse will not be allowed to chart on paper because the nursing documentation is electronic. A firm, flat board or hard surface to rest the palm is the best way to protect the wrist from injury. A lumbar support helps with appropriate body posture for the back.
