Probes are monitoring devices used extensively in nursing care, including pulse oximetry probes for SpO2 measurement, temperature probes for continuous core temperature monitoring, and ultrasound probes for guided IV placement. Nurses must ensure proper probe placement to obtain accurate readings — a poorly positioned pulse oximetry probe can give falsely low readings due to motion artifact, nail polish, or poor perfusion. Regular assessment of skin integrity under continuous-use probes prevents pressure injury, particularly in critically ill or immobile patients.
