Prevention Begins Before Entering the Room

Prevention Begins Before Entering the Room

Preventing workplace violence can start before you even enter the room. Consider: 

  • Is there anything in the patient's room that is unnecessary and can be removed?
  • Is there anything in the room that can hurt me?
  • Respect the space and patient's belongings as an extension of the self. 
  • Be attentive of FYI signs and use a team approach when needed.

Consideration for these environmental factors can de-escalate a crisis.
