• NEW! Assessment of the risk for a Serious Venous Needle Dislodgement Incident
  Venous Needle Dislodgement risk assessment tool with recommendations for renal nurses.

  The risk for a serious venous needle dislodgement incident depends on the likelihood of the needle becoming dislodged and the likelihood that the action necessary to stop the blood loss will not be taken in time to prevent serious harm. This mini-tool shows you how to use 4 simple questions to calculate the overall risk and formulates recommendations according to the risk result.

  The tool is available at: http://www.edtnaerca.org/pdf/education/AssessmentOfTheRisk.pdf
