Internal controls play a vital role in enhancing patient safety by:
Medication Administration: Implementing checks and balances to ensure the correct medication is given to the right patient at the correct dosage. Infection Control: Following stringent hygiene and sanitation protocols to prevent the spread of infections. Error Reporting: Encouraging a culture of transparency where nursing staff can report errors and near-misses without fear of reprisal. Patient Identification: Using multiple identifiers to confirm patient identity before administering care or treatment.
