Safety is something we need to incorporate into our day every day we practice at the bedside. Learning how to incorporate safety checks is important to the patients we serve. At my hospital, we utilize report sheets and have our safety checks printed onto the worksheets we use. Then it is present every time we get report. These are things like: checking all lines for proper labeling and proper connections, double checking all medications and fluids hanging with the current orders, making sure that the suction is working appropriately, the ambu bag is connected to a oxygen source, all IV sites are ok, ID band is correctly placed on patient, beds are in the lowest positions when patients are getting in and out of bed, and that the proper isolation signs and fall signs are in place. It is doing the little things that can make all the difference. Will you try creating a report sheet that can help you bring safety to the forefront? http://www.voki.com/pickup.php?scid=6018840&height=267&width=200
