Nurses play a pivotal role in maintaining facility safety. They are often the first line of defense in identifying and mitigating potential risks. Some of the ways nurses contribute include:
- Conducting regular risk assessments to identify potential hazards. - Following proper infection control protocols, such as hand hygiene and use of personal protective equipment (PPE). - Ensuring proper administration and storage of medications. - Educating patients and their families about safety measures. - Reporting any unsafe conditions or incidents promptly.
