There is a literature review on the safety of patient incidents
and the nursing workload. In this article, the authors established
factors that affected patient safety concerning the nurses’
workload. This is important since, in many organizations, there
is a high likelihood that patient safety incidences are likely to
occur even though nurses are onsite. In the article, the authors
concluded that rates of falls were associated with the workload.
This is an essential indicator in improving patient safety. The
report is critical as it will strengthen my recommendations on
improving patient safety through proper nursing practices in
healthcare facilities.

The source explains the role nurses play in caring for their
patients. The author states that the nurses ensure that the
patient's safety is always guaranteed. The article compares the
length the physicians or the, pharmacists, and parents or family
members take to interact with their patients to that of the
nurses. All the responsibilities of ensuring the patient stay safe
during the day are left to the nurses. Therefore, this article
strongly indicates that nurses have a critical role in
accomplishing the duties stipulated in the research topic. This is
a very excellent article to use to prove my points strongly.

This article is a literature review on how organizations can

empowerment, leadership, and collaboration. This is very
important because patient care and safety is a multisectoral
undertaking. This means that there is a need to have good
cooperation, the empowerment of the nursing team, and
impeccable leadership qualities in place. Despite the article not
finding tangible evidence and proposing that further research be
conducted, I find it valid to advance the items the literature
review highlighted in improving patient safety through nursing
in many organizations.

6. Organizational Patient Safety Argument Presentation
Assignment
Part 1 - Freewriting Prompt
In the current assignment, I will focus on exploring patient
safety as my topic. Patent safety from an organizational
perspective has become a significant consideration for nurses
who understand that they must care for the patients. Again, data
indicate that patient safety is one of the main issues
contributing to positive patient outcomes and high quality of
care. I believe that holding a high level of patient safety is my
duty and obligation conferred to me as a professional nurse
(Trinkoff et al., 2008). It is essential to convince the audience
that I am saying is true. I will borrow facts and statistics from
recently researched documents to clarify the arguments to
achieve this goal. I believe that my audience understands the
dynamics in the healthcare industry. In this way, I will have to
cite recently published data to support my arguments.
It hasn't proven easy in the past to use pathos to persuade the
audience. However, since this assignment allows the use of
audio-visual, it will be easy to use emotional appeals to
persuade the audience. Visuals such as gestures, facial
expressions, hand movements, body movements, and tone
alteration will help me convey the message to the audience from
an emotional perspective. I think there is nothing more
imperative than establishing credibility with the audience.
There are many techniques that I will use to earn the audience's
credibility. Firstly, I will use professional language to address
the audience. I will reduce the professional organ to ensure that
everyone understands my message. Again, I will cite past
research to support my arguments. Although using professional
language is imperative in this perspective, it is also essential to

7. use simple language to convey the message effectively.
Part 2 – Planning Prompt
I believe that a successful speech begins with an important
message that catches the audience's attention. In this way, I will
use statistics or famous quotes to hook my audience. For
instance, I can start by saying that do you know that 3 out of 10
patients discharged from hospitals are readmitted because of
poor patient safety. Or do you know that patient safety is a core
value of the nursing profession? I am qualified to speak on the
topic because I am a nurse practitioner and have gained enough
experience in the past many years. Similarly, I have done much
research on the subject, and I have vast knowledge to impart to
the audience. My professional background, academic and
training, areas of my expertise, and interests are some of the
experiences that will help my audience understand me better.
In the argument, I will focus on the significance of patient
safety and the impacts of poor patient safety on the patients,
practitioners, and the organization. Again, I will explain how
patient safety can be achieved from an organizational
perspective. It is better to shrink the argument to a few issues to
address them better. To effectively convey the message, I will
begin with the definition of patient safety to the impacts of
patent safety. Again, as much as patient safety is a significant
consideration, some may say that it is a waste of time because
nurses spend much time on a single patient and ignore the plight
of others (Phillips et al., 2021). Irrespective of the opposing
arguments, patient safety is significant because it improves
treatment outcomes and contributes to the high quality of care. I
will end the speech by calling the audience to action. I will
advocate for improved patient safety in organizations to
enhance the quality of care offered to the patients.

Summary:
A nurse's first and foremost duty to a patient is to safeguard
their safety. Every nurse must prioritize patient care.
Following directions may not free nurses and other non-

9. physicians of accountability when they fall short of the required
standard of care. On the other hand, nurses are taught to
evaluate medical advice and judge whether it is harmful to the
patient. For example, when a physician fails to assess or treat a
patient properly, a nurse must follow the "chain of command"
method to safeguard the patient by either withholding or finding
appropriate care and treatment for the patient.
To implement a "chain of command" system, every hospital and
healthcare facility must have written protocols detailing a step-
by-step approach. When a patient is injured, a nurse's failure to
follow the "chain of command" protocol may be considered
malpractice.

Summary:
In research done by the researchers of “Patient Safety and
Quality: An Evidence-Based Handbook for nurses,” the focus
was on the major injury and safety issues for working nurses.
According to the research, Others remain unexplored and
unsolved, despite considerable evidence-based findings for
epidemiology and prevention. Even though many risk factors for
nursing injury remain neglected, there is much room for
improvement. Increasing nurse safety has many advantages,
including maintaining existing nurses and attracting new ones.
Too much work can harm a nurse's health, resulting in poor
patient care. These resources must be leveraged to promote staff
safety as well. In the long run, these changes will help patients
by making nurses healthier and more productive.

Summary:
The link between nurse-to-patient ratios and patient outcomes is
likely due to increased effort, stress, and potential nursing
burnout. Nurses are at risk of making errors due to their high-
intensity work. Human factors engineering principles mandate
that when performing a complex operation, such as providing
medication to a hospitalized patient, the work environment be
as favorable as possible. However, operational concerns such as
disruptions or equipment malfunctions may limit nurses' ability
to conduct their work safely and effectively. These interruptions
have been associated with a higher risk of medication mistakes.
However, the association between interruptions and errors
shows how flaws in a nurse's regular work environment
undermine patient safety.

POSITION STATEMENT
Nurses owe a duty to care for their patients, so they should put
