If you saw a nurse aide failing to follow safety precautions, what would you do?

"I once observed a colleague failing to change their gloves in between patient rooms. This is a major failure of protocol, so I quickly pulled her to the side and reminded her of our policy and the importance of adhering to it to prevent the spread of illness and germs. I notified the shift supervisor as well so that they could monitor the situation and provide further education as necessary."

"I once observed a nurse aide failing to use a gait belt for a patient that was a fall risk. I immediately addressed it with the aide, reminding him of the importance of using it. I assisted him with the patient and afterward, I made sure he knew where to look on the patient's room card and wristband to ensure they understood how to identify patients with fall risks. Per our company policy, I also notified their immediate supervisor of the incident and documented it accordingly."
