Question

Which of the following is considered an incident and/or injury that needs to be reported?

A A patient fell while you were ambulating them
B you get a paper cut,
C a patient wants to file a complaint about a nurse
D All of these

Answer 1

All of the incidents and/or injuries listed in the options need to be reported.

Step-by-step explanation:

All of the incidents and/or injuries listed in the options need to be reported. For example, if a patient falls while being ambulated, this would be considered an incident and needs to be reported to ensure proper follow-up care and documentation. A paper cut, although less severe, may still need to be reported depending on the policies of the healthcare facility as it could potentially require medical attention and may be a workplace injury. Additionally, if a patient wants to file a complaint about a nurse, this would also need to be reported so that the appropriate steps can be taken to address the complaint.
