THE ROLE AND IMPORTANCE OF HISTOLOGY IN NURSING EDUCATION AND PRACTICE
Abstract
Abstract: Histology, the study of tissues and their microscopic structures, is a
foundational discipline in medical and nursing sciences. For nurses, understanding
histology enhances their ability to assess and interpret pathological changes,
communicate effectively with healthcare teams, and provide evidence-based patient
care. This article highlights the significance of histology in the nursing profession, its
integration into nursing education, and its applications in clinical practice.
