Abstract

The findings indicate that patient identification accuracy is maintained through identification wristbands and double verification before medical procedures, although occasional mismatches still occur. Effective communication is implemented via medical record documentation and a read-back policy, yet challenges remain due to varying levels of understanding and insufficient coordination during shift changes. Medication safety is improved through electronic documentation; however, dosage errors persist and should be minimized through a double-verification system. Surgical site and procedure verification are enforced via site marking, though unconscious patients pose challenges in active verification participation. Infection prevention measures include sterilization procedures, regular training, and infection surveillance, yet stricter monitoring is necessary for optimal program effectiveness.
