Obedience

35.7K
According to obedience research, we may harm others under the forceful pressures of an authority figure (Milgram, 1974). How about if the inappropriate orders were delivered with less force? The increasing interdependence between nurses and physicians compelled Hofling and his colleagues to explore nurses’ reactions to a potentially harmful medical request made by the perceived authority figure, the doctor (Hofling, Brotzman, Dalrymple, Graves, & Pierce, 1966). In this situation,...

Pharmaceutical Poisoning: Potential Scenarios

53
Pharmaceutical poisoning can occur through various channels, impacting an estimated 2 million hospitalized patients in the U.S. annually with serious adverse drug responses. These scenarios encompass both therapeutic uses, such as drug toxicity, where even standard dosages can lead to severe central nervous system depression, and non-therapeutic exposures, including accidental ingestion by children, and environmental and occupational exposures.Unintentional poisonings often involve exploratory...

Standard Precaution

3.3K
Standard precautions are the minimum infection control safeguards used while caring for all patients, irrespective of their disease condition. They help prevent the spread of common infectious microorganisms to healthcare workers, patients, and visitors in all healthcare settings.
Hand hygiene is the most crucial means to prevent the transmission of disease. Employers are legally required to provide their workers with personal protective equipment (PPE) to minimize exposure or contact with...

Professional accountability in nursing is a multifaceted concept that encompasses professional ethics, legal standards, and employment expectations. This framework ensures that nurses maintain and elevate the quality of care while upholding the values of their profession. It compels them to treat patients, families, and colleagues with respect, compassion, and integrity.
For example, a nurse demonstrating respect and compassion might listen attentively to a patient's concerns, provide...

Transmission-based Precautions II: Airborne and Protective Environment

2.1K
Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...

Ethical Standards II

1.4K
Ethical standards are the backbone of nursing practice, guiding nurses as they interact with patients, families, and colleagues. These standards are crucial for providing safe, empathetic care centered on the patient's needs.
Nurses are entrusted with upholding various ethical principles and standards. Nurses forge solid therapeutic relationships using trust, empathy, autonomy, confidentiality, and professional competence.
Confidentiality is crucial, embodying respect for individual privacy...

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Research
  • Healthcare Management
  • Patient Safety

Background:

  • Safety climate is proposed as essential for safe practices.
  • Limited evidence exists on factors influencing safety climate and its link to medication safety.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine leadership style and unit climate as predictors of safety climate.
  • To test the effects of leadership, unit climate, and safety climate on nurses' safe medication practices.

Main Methods:

  • Cross-sectional survey design.
  • Data collected from 246 Registered Nurses (RNs) in a Magnet® hospital.

Main Results:

  • Leadership style and unit climate explained 20-50% of the variance in safety climate dimensions.
  • Indirect effects of leadership style and unit climate on safe medication practices were identified.

Conclusions:

  • The study model explained a small portion of the variance in nurses' safe medication practices.
  • Nurses' medication safety is influenced by multiple, yet-to-be-fully-examined contextual and personal factors.
