All Actions Are Appropriate For The Professional Nurse. However, Ensuring Client Safety Is
The Priority. Health Care Errors Have Been Widely Reported For 25 Years, Many Of Which
Result In Client Injury, Death, And Increased Health Care Costs. There Are Several National
And International Organizations That Have Either Recommended Or Mandated Safety
Initiatives.
