#1 Nursing priority: patient safety (risk for falls)

Optimal Patient education for adults - nurse should sits with patient and teach in person - pt perceive the teaching as an immediate need

Organ transplant - pt need to understand immunosuppressive therapy as a lifelong committment

Nurse should never leave a procedural moderation sediation at bedside

patient-controlled analgesia (PCA) requires a continuous IV solution running to keep vein open to flush the PCA medication through the line

Do not insert indwelling urinary catheter for pt when not medically necessary! Can cause high risk for infection

During resuscitation efforts, family member can choose to stay in the room and a staff member should be assigned with family member to explain what is happening

Always a priority to report a suspected child abuse with fractures in young children!
