The first step toward keeping you safe is consistently confirming your identity. In providing quality medical care will must verify your identity to make sure the right patient is receiving care appropriately. Robust sources of information such as patient\u2019s name, date of birth and wrist tag help reduce the potential for errors. Confirming your identity is a safety precaution.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Nurses ask you about using the bathroom as a way of preventing falls which is another safety precaution. If a nurse is present, he or she can assist you in getting to and from the bathroom. Using the restroom while alone is more risky, including patients who are normally stable on their feet. Certain medications might have a side effect of dizziness, and walking normally after certain procedures can take a while.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
Falls are a foremost cause of hospital injury, and St. Nicholas Hospital does not want you to fall.\u00a0 The best approach to avoid a fall is to call for assistance from a member of the medical team each time you need to get out of bed or move from one position to another. The risk of falling doesn\u2019t end at the hospital wearing non-slip flat shoes or socks is advised to help patients take steady steps.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Urinary catheter drainage bags should be kept below hip level. Also, if you have relatives who aren\u2019t feeling well, discourage them from visiting you until they are over their illness. If a treatment team member or family member not following good hygiene guidelines, please speak up. Your health and safety definitely comes first.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

In order to ensure patient safety during surgery, St. Nicholas Hospital follows the World Health Organization\u2019s \u201cSurgical Safety Checklist.\u201d The checklist applies safeguards at three points during the surgical process; prior to anesthesia, prior to incision, and prior to leaving the operating room. This involves at a minimum a nurse, the anesthetist, and the surgeon. Safeguards include confirming the patient\u2019s identity, marking the surgical site when appropriate, verifying technologies and medications, identifying allergies, counting surgical tools before closure and addressing post-surgical treatment needs. Patients consent are ensured before each procedure.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
If you have any queries or concerns about your medications always ask your doctor and pharmacists. St. Nicholas Hospital Pharmacy provides a free Drug Information Centre<\/strong> set aside to give information to the public on drug use, implications and effects. To practice safe medication practice from the beginning of your visit, provide the medical team with an accurate list of your medications and their dosages.
