What are the common safety concerns in nursing?

Common safety concerns in nursing include medication errors, patient falls, infection control, and workplace violence. Medication administration errors can occur due to complex drug regimens or lack of attention to detail. Patient falls often happen due to inadequate supervision or environmental hazards. Infection control is critical to prevent healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), which can be life-threatening. Additionally, workplace violence poses risks to both staff and patients, necessitating proper training and preventive measures.
