All actions are appropriate for the professional nurse. However, ensuring client safety is the
r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7




priority. Health care errors have been widely reported for 25 years, many of which result in
r7 r7 r7 r7 r7

client injury, death, and increased health care costs. There are several national and
r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7




international organizations that have either recommended or mandated safety initiatives. Every r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7




nurse has the responsibility to guard the client’s safety. The other actions are important for

r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7




quality nursing, but they are not as vital as providing safety. Not making medication errors does
r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7




provide safety, but is too narrow in scope to be the best answer.

Each action could be important for the client or family to perform. However, encouraging the
r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7




client to be active in his or her health care as a safety partner is the most critical. The other
r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7 r7



actions are very limited in scope and do not provide the broad protection that being active and
