riority. Health care errors have been widely reported for 25 years, many of which result in cli

ent injury, death, and increased health care costs. There are several national and international
qr qr qr qr qr qr qr qr qr qr qr qr qr q


organizations that have either recommended or mandated safety initiatives.

Every nurse has the responsibility to guard the client’s safety. The other actions are important
qr qr qr qr qr qr qr qr qr qr qr qr qr qr r
q


for quality nursing, but they are not as vital as providing safety. Not making medication errors

client to be active in his or her health care as a safety partner is the most critical. The other
