Prevention Begins Before Entering the Room
Prevention Begins Before Entering the Room
Preventing workplace violence can start before you even enter the room. Consider:
- Is there anything in the patient's room that is unnecessary and can be removed?
- Is there anything in the room that can hurt me?
- Respect the space and patient's belongings as an extension of the self.
- Be attentive of FYI signs and use a team approach when needed.
Consideration for these environmental factors can de-escalate a crisis.
