How can patients contribute to reducing nursing errors?
Patients can play an active role in reducing nursing errors by being informed and engaged in their own care. They should feel empowered to ask questions about their treatments and medications. Providing accurate and complete information about their medical history and any allergies is crucial. Patients should also ensure they understand their care plans and follow post-discharge instructions carefully. By actively participating in their healthcare, patients can help identify potential errors and contribute to a safer care environment.
