11. According to one study, 42% of healthcare-
related life-threatening events and 28% of
medication adverse reactions are preventable.
Developing a culture in which nurses can ask
questions and function in a professional
working environment without anxiety can
reduce these alarming statistics. Nurses play
a vital role in preventing events that may
negatively impact patient health.
12. Nursing errors commonly revolve around patient falls,
infections, medication errors, documenting errors,
and equipment injuries. These include failure to:
* collaborate with other healthcare team members
* clarify interdisciplinary orders
* ask for and offer assistance
* utilize evidence-based performance guidelines or
bundles
* communicate information to patients and families
* limit overtime
* adequately staff patient care units with enough
nurses to allow them to safely provide care.

clinical care of the patient is the backbone of
any of the hospital. To achieve a quality
patient care it is very important that the
nursing team is strengthened and trained
time to time.
