• Using your own words, define self-care and the benefits of practicing self-care as a student.
• Describe at least one self-care skill you plan to start using in your daily health practices. Identify which self-care technique you would use and explain how you would begin using this technique. Do you anticipate any barriers to using this new skill?
• Describe at least one self-care skill you find complicated to implement into your nursing practice and discuss why this approach would be challenging to implement.
• Please provide detailed and thorough responses. Please also provide source cited. Thank you
