How Can Nurses Ensure They Meet Their Duty of Care?
To meet their duty of care, nurses should:
Engage in continuing education to stay updated on best practices and new developments in healthcare. Follow evidence-based guidelines and protocols to provide safe and effective care. Maintain open communication with patients, families, and healthcare team members to ensure a collaborative approach to care. Regularly reflect on their practice and seek feedback to identify areas for improvement. Prioritize self-care to maintain their own physical and mental well-being, which in turn, enables them to provide better care for their patients.
