"As champions of patient safety, nurses can work proactively to facilitate effective interdisciplinary solutions that positively affect patient outcomes" (Allen, et al., 2015). As nurses we are faced with the daily challenge of insuring we provide safe and effective care to each of our patients. Each patient brings new elements to this challenge as we work to improve their outcomes and increase the overall standard of care that we provide.
As we are the advocate for the patient we must continually reassess the patient and their ongoing needs. "Nurses work endlessly to consider the patient’s best interests." (Hood. 2018 P. 496) Being aware of changes in the patient's condition, even subtle changes is a vital componet in providing a safe outcome.
