Summary
Nursing, like any job, has its inherent risks. But in nursing, more than other fields, risks present themselves on a daily basis, and the impact of these risks can have serious consequences. It is critically important then for nurses to be aware of the risks around them, and be well equipped to deal with them in the best way possible. This essential programme provides a framework for management of risks; from identification and assessment, to potential solutions, and a risk management plan. It then examines common areas of risk for nursing professionals; from infection control and manual handling, to medication errors, IV therapy, and patient identification.

Summary
At some point in their careers, most nurses and nursing assistants will care for patients at risk of developing pressure ulcers. Pressure ulcers are distressing, debilitating and difficult to manage. Yet in many cases pressure ulcers are readily preventable. In this programme we see how understanding the causes and staging of pressure ulcers can lead to improved management. We also determine the best ways to assess a patient's risk of developing them, and discuss preventative actions like correct positioning and turning, measures that can be taken to protect skin integrity, and early intervention and treatment options.
