Nurses can maintain accuracy through various methods:
1. Double-Checking Procedures: Always double-check medications, dosages, and patient identifiers before administration. 2. Use of Technology: Utilize electronic health records (EHRs) and barcoding systems to reduce errors. 3. Continuing Education: Engage in ongoing professional development to stay current with best practices and new technologies. 4. Clear Communication: Use standardized communication tools like SBAR (Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation) to convey information clearly and accurately.
