Some common safety regulations in nursing include:
- Hand Hygiene: Regular and thorough hand washing to prevent the spread of infections. - Medication Administration: Using the five "rights" (right patient, right medication, right dose, right route, and right time) to ensure safe medication practices. - Patient Identification: Verifying patient identity before any procedure or medication administration to avoid errors. - Use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Wearing appropriate PPE to protect against infections. - Safe Patient Handling: Using lifting aids and proper body mechanics to prevent injury to both patients and nurses.
