Evaluating safety and competency at the bedside
Abstract
Learning about issues such as national patient safety goals, infection prevention, and documentation can be dry, even for the most enthusiastic learner. However, nurses' knowledge of this information is critical to providing safe and competent patient care. The purpose of this article is to share a fun and effective strategy used to help participants remember and employ what they learned.
