Nursing Role in Fall Prevention in ICUs Preventing patient falls is a critical nursing responsibility and aligns with the 6th goal of the International Patient Safety Goals (IPSG): Reducing the risk of patient harm from falls. Key strategies include: ⏩ Keeping the bed in the lowest position with locked brakes and raised side rails (when applicable). ⏩ Using fall risk signs and wristbands. ⏩ Educating patients on using call buttons and keeping essentials within reach. ⏩ Prohibiting unsupervised bathroom use in ICUs. ⏩ Ensuring adequate lighting and a safe environment. Nurses are at the forefront of implementing these measures, ensuring safety and quality care in ICUs. together let's uphold the highest standards of patient safety hashtag #Nursing hashtag #PatientSafety hashtag #ICU hashtag #FallPrevention hashtag #IPSG hashtag #NursingEducation hashtag #healthcareLeadership

Phlebotomy Training💉🩸 (TW: use of needles)   Last week a group of nurses at Grove Park Healthcare Limited took part in a Phlebotomy / Venipuncture training course. Delegates completed the course with the knowledge on how to successfully carry out a Phlebotomy or Venipuncture procedure, and also what would be the best course of action to take in the event of complications such as haematoma, fainting or infection.    Phlebotomy is important for the investigation of health conditions or concerns. It is crucial that nurses have the knowledge on how to properly carry out this procedure as they will routinely be asked to collect samples of blood to assist general practitioners and laboratories with their diagnosis for treatment purposes.    Please see below for more information or any general enquiries on Quensh’s Care Training capabilities: 🌐 https://lnkd.in/eGjCibNX 📩 marie.grey@quenshspecialists.co.uk #caretraining #trainingcourse #staffdevelopment #hseq #qhse #hse #healthandsafety #consultants #consultancy

Keeping stitches dry during washing is crucial for preventing infection and promoting healing.
