A nurse is teaching a client about ways to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome. Which of the following instructions should the nurse include?

Using a wrist splint or resting device keeps the wrist in a neutral position during repetitive tasks such as typing, reducing pressure on the median nerve and preventing carpal tunnel syndrome. Elastic bandages do not provide proper wrist support and may restrict circulation. Acetaminophen is a pain reliever, not a preventive measure. CoQ10 is not evidence-based for preventing carpal tunnel syndrome.
