Nurses play the largest role in patient care and nursing continues to be the most trusted profession. With current staffing shortages worldwide, patients who are sicker and with higher acuity, and more task-oriented duties assigned to nurses, the capacity to bal­ance everything can be tedious. The overwhelming workload may sometimes contribute to errors, ranging from minor to irrevers­ible, or even fatal consequences. There is a great deal of responsi­bility on nurses to avoid errors. The aim of Preventing Errors and Pitfalls in Nursing with Infectious Patients is to inform nurses about the most common and the more serious errors made in car­ing for patients with infectious diseases, and strategies to help reduce these errors.

The use of just culture will be discussed, and how that frame­work can be used to determine cause of errors and the potential need for system and process improvements. Factors that are pre­disposing and contributing factors for nursing errors will be reviewed. This can include personal factors, such as health or knowledge, processes, and environmental factors. Or a combina­tion of factors can exist, which can create a higher risk for errors.

This book covers learnings about a variety of infectious dis­eases, including COVID-19, multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) such as methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE), Clostrid­ium difficile (C-diff.), and tuberculosis (TB), among others. Infectious diseases will be discussed in terms of causes, symp­toms, management, and isolation requirements.
