Wandering alarms play a vital role in nursing for several reasons: 1. Patient Safety: They help prevent accidents or injuries that could occur if a patient wanders into unsafe areas. 2. Peace of Mind for Caregivers: Knowing that an alarm system is in place allows caregivers to perform their duties with less worry about the potential for patient elopement. 3. Compliance with Regulations: Many healthcare facilities are required to have wandering alarm systems in place to comply with safety regulations and standards.
