Areas of Social Media Activity That Could be Improved

Social media platforms can be used as a space that promotes values that are helpful to all users. Importantly, nurses can apply informational technologies to show their engagement (Westrick, 2016). For example, posting details on the methods that can be relied by home care givers to take care of patients can reflect compassion, one of the central Christian values. In addition, online platforms can be used to emphasize the value of creativity; for instance, nurses can post fitness programs that promote healthy living.

The areas of social media that could be improved could include interaction with followers by positively influencing their lives. This means close focus on the content posted to ensure that the details available on the social media indicate high level of professionalism and good behavior, while at the same time promoting values helpful to the followers and the host. The posts should therefore, ensure that they encourage personal development by providing reliable information in reference to health and promote wellbeing by emphasizing such aspects as healthy eating and exercise, since nurses have the relevant scientific knowledge and skills on such issues.
