Securing Patient Safety In Radiology Along With Nurse’s Perspective. A New Appraisal.

Abstract

Patient safety in radiology is a critical component of quality healthcare, and nurses play an essential role in ensuring that patients receive safe, effective, and efficient radiologic care. Nurses in radiology are responsible for patient preparation, monitoring during procedures, communication with the radiology team, and post-procedural care, all of which contribute significantly to minimizing risks and enhancing patient outcomes. This article explores the various responsibilities and strategies employed by nurses to ensure patient safety in radiology departments. It also highlights the importance of collaboration between nurses, radiologists, and other healthcare professionals to foster a culture of safety in radiologic procedures. Furthermore, it addresses key safety concerns such as radiation exposure, contrast reactions, and patient positioning, offering practical insights into how nurses can mitigate these risks.
