Hand hygiene

Correct position - bed at working height
Also, in addition to that… ANY time you are giving medications of ANY kind, there are some specific other safety things to consider that you will always do:
Make sure you got the right drug out of the Pyxis!!
Always prepare meds at the bedside
Verify the patient’s allergies
Use your 5 rights! EVERY TIME
Don’t document until AFTER you give it!
Always evaluate response/effect after
So, for each one of the skills videos, you’ll see that the nurse already has everything prepared, is wearing gloves, and you can just assume they’ve already done the appropriate safety steps. They’re gonna jump right into the skill itself! So again, make sure you’re doing these safety things for every patient, every skill, every time.
So dive in, review the outlines for each skill while you watch the videos, and we hope you enjoy the course! Now, go out and be your best selves today. And, as always, happy nursing!
