Patient safety is a critical aspect of nursing practice. Strategies to enhance patient safety include:
- Medication Safety: Implementing proper medication administration protocols and double-checking dosages. - Infection Control: Adhering to strict hygiene and sterilization practices to prevent healthcare-associated infections. - Fall Prevention: Assessing patients' risk of falls and implementing appropriate measures to mitigate risks. - Error Reporting Systems: Encouraging the reporting of errors and near-misses to identify areas for improvement and prevent future occurrences.
