Safety in nursing is a multifaceted concept that involves preventing errors, minimizing risks, and ensuring the well-being of both patients and healthcare providers. Key elements include infection control, medication management, and environmental safety. Nurses are at the frontline of implementing safety protocols, such as hand hygiene and patient identification, to prevent errors. Continuous education and adherence to guidelines, such as those from the World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), are essential for maintaining high safety standards.
