Conceptual Mapping

In the nursing field, there are several hazards that are experienced. Nurses continue to report high levels of job related injuries and illnesses. This is because; the working environment, responsibilities, and duties of the nurses put them in the frontline of numerous occupational hazards (Walton & Rogers, 2017). Therefore, physical hazards are one of the hazards that nurses tend to be exposed to in the work place (Jeyaretnam & Jones, 2000). These hazards are easily detected but they are usually ignored because people are too much accustomed to them.
