Safety Care for older Adults with Dementia an
Delirium

,What is Safety?


 “Safety is defined as the freedom from accidental injury.
Ensuring patient safety involves the establishment of
operational systems and processes that minimize the likelihood
of errors and maximize the likelihood of intercepting them
when they occur” (Giddens et al., 2015, p. 445). 2

, 3 Safety and Health Care Quality.

 Patient safety is a critical concept in healthcare.
 Without appropriate safety measures, there can be
serious health complications and it may lead to death
(Giddens et al., 2015).
 For example, patient’s health could be at risk because of
the medication error, such as administrating the wrong
medication or incorrect dose.
 Critical thinking skills are essential in assessing patients
and their environment for hazards that put their safety at
risk.
 A nurse should have the appropriate plan and
intervention to maintain a safe environment for the
patient (Potter et al., 2018).
