Patient Safety and Managing Risk in Nursing by Melanie Fisher

Patient Safety and Managing Risk in Nursing by Melanie Fisher

This book aims to provide nursing students and new nurses with a greater understanding of how to manage patient safety and risk in their own practice. The book focuses on the essentials that students and nurses need to know, and therefore provides a clear pathway through what can sometimes seem an overwhelmingly complex mass of rules, procedures and possible options.
