Nursing practitioners are close to patients more than any other staff member. Firstly, a nurse is supposed to observe every detail and promote friendly communication with the patient to detect signs of risk occurrence (Yawar, 2016). Besides, communication will allow the nurse to report cases to supervisors on time. Secondly, a nurse should ensure that they follow the command chain and the flow of information. Following rules will minimize the occurrence of risks in a health care unit. The nurse should avoid carrying clinical exercises to patients without getting vast knowledge based on the patient, equipment, and status of the facility (Yawar, 2016). Thirdly, to prevent further occurrence of issues in this case, the nurse was required to analyze the threat brought about by faulty IV. Adequate analysis of the situation could have prevented the malfunction of the patient’s hand. Also, the Nurse should record information that is relevant to the condition of the patient. Poor recording can confuse nurses in different shifts.
Risk management steps need to be taken by the educator.
Advancement in healthcare facilities has promoted the occurrence of challenges in developing an APN role and the standard of care. As a result, there are chances of deficiencies occurrences in the quality of healthcare, such as errors, and clinical incidences (Jamileh, 2015). The educators should embrace research exercise to update their program in response to technological advancements. Secondly, educators should raise the qualification level to limit unfit individuals from nursing exercises. This will promote intelligent and qualified individuals to perform in the nursing environment. Thirdly, the educator should invent advanced clinical risk management systems to improve the quality of healthcare and help ensure the safety of patients (Jamileh, 2015). Besides, the educator should exchange information with other institutions around the world to update their programs and ensure that learners are extensively informed before they get a license to practice nursing.
