Rationale: An incident is any event that is
not consistent with the routine operation
of a health care unit or routine care of a
client. Examples of incidents include client
falls, needlestick injuries, a visitor having
symptoms of illness, medication
administration errors, accidental omission
of prescribed therapies, and circumstances
leading to injury or a risk for injury. An
incident report does not need to be filed if
a client has a seizure unless the client
sustains injury as a result of the seizure. If
the nurse determines that a client would
benefit from the use of a walker to
ambulate, he or she should take the
appropriate action to obtain one. If the
nurse notes that the battery of an
intravenous infusion pump is not working,
he or she should obtain a functioning
pump and send the nonfunctioning pump
to the appropriate department for repair.
