Strengthening the sense of law ensures nursing safety and brings immeasurable loss to the hospital. Pre-job training, in order to "standardize nursing behavior, ensure safety," lectures on the existing and potential legal risks for clinical nurses to students. Through a strict teaching management system and legal education, the legal awareness of students is improved, and their self-protection consciousness is enhanced. At the same time, it also allows teachers to form a clear concept: not only to provide patients with safe and high-quality nursing practice, but also to be responsible for students' learning behaviors, and bear the consequences of accidents caused by students.
According to Article Nineteen of the "People's Republic of China Nurse Management Approach," nursing students should work under direction. Therefore, teachers should not only provide practical training opportunities for students but also not relax supervision and guidance over nursing students, taking responsibility for the behavior of nursing students in practice and being accountable for the physical and mental health of patients.
Attention should be paid to the legal basis of nursing records as stipulated in the tenth regulation of the "Regulations on Handling Medical Accidents": patients have the right to copy nursing records. Nursing records are also an objective legal basis for ruling. Therefore, attention should be paid to recording objective data in nursing records, which must be reliable. At the same time, they should reflect the application of nursing procedures in nursing work methods and patient-centered holistic nursing ideas, enabling patients to gradually establish healthy psychology and behavior. Nursing records serve as the basis for physicians to observe treatment effects and changes, so nurses should carefully observe patients, properly implement rescue and nursing measures, and clearly write records. Nurses can solve or prevent problems by ensuring that they do what should be done and do not write what shouldn't be written, avoiding subjectivity and arbitrary scribbling. Writing and advice, condition, and actual operations should correspond, and alterations or forgeries are prohibited to avoid misunderstandings or disputes caused by changes.
Strictly checking and executing orders is the basis for nurses to diagnose, treat, and implement nursing measures, having legal effect. According to Article Twenty-One of the "People's Republic of China Nurse Management Approach," nurses in nursing practice should correctly implement physician orders, observing the physical and mental state of the patient for scientific nursing. Therefore, when executing orders, nurses should strictly follow the "three checks and seven verifications" principle and reasonably apply drugs. When discovering errors in orders, direct contact with physicians should be made and corrections implemented promptly, adhering to a double-signature system to prevent errors from occurring. For special drugs, the system should be strictly enforced, and checks should be conducted with infusion cards, treatment orders, and prescriptions to ensure patient safety.
Nurses should strictly implement disinfection and isolation systems to prevent iatrogenic infections. They should rigorously adhere to aseptic techniques, sterilization, and isolation protocols, and manage disposable medical supplies according to regulations. Sterile medical supplies entering body tissues or organs must be sterilized; equipment and devices contacting skin and mucous membranes must be disinfected; used medical instruments and articles should first undergo decontamination and sterilization. Disposable items must be subjected to disinfection, destruction, and harmless treatment after use, prohibiting repeated use and return to the market to prevent disease spread.
For special infectious patients, isolation should be implemented, and drainage fluids, secretions, and excretions should be strictly sterilized. After patient discharge or death, terminal disinfection should be carried out to prevent cross-infections.
