International-Patient-Safety-GoalsGoal 1: Identify patients correctly
Goal 2: Improve effective communication
Goal 3: Improve the safety of high-alert medications
Goal 4: Ensure safe surgery
Goal 5: Reduce the risk of health care-associated infections

Transfer of patient
This document discusses the transfer of a patient from one unit or hospital to another.

The nurse's role in the process involves communication, documentation, collecting patient belongings, and assisting in the physical transfer of the patient between units.
Early warning scores in hospital for nurse
Early warning scores (EWS) are used to facilitate early detection of patient deterioration. The EWS system assigns points to physiological parameters like respiration, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, and temperature to determine a total score.

The system aims to standardize recognition of worsening conditions and ensure prompt treatment. Case studies are presented to demonstrate how EWS would be applied in clinical practice.

Feeding plate for a newborn with Cleft Palate.pptx
A feeding plate is a prosthetic device used for newborns with a cleft palate to assist in feeding and improve nutrition intake. From a prosthodontic perspective, this plate acts as a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities, facilitating effective sucking and swallowing by providing a more normal anatomical structure. It helps to prevent milk from entering the nasal passage, thereby reducing the risk of aspiration and enhancing the infant's ability to feed efficiently. The feeding plate also aids in the development of the oral muscles and can contribute to better growth and weight gain. Its custom fabrication and proper fitting by a prosthodontist are crucial for ensuring comfort and functionality, as well as for minimizing potential complications. Early intervention with a feeding plate can significantly improve the quality of life for both the infant and the parents.
