The Rare but Real: Intentional harm to patients videos were developed to raise awareness about the possibility of nurses intentionally harming patients. We know most nurses provide quality care and contribute to patient safety. However, we also know from the research that a small number of nurses intentionally harm their patients.
We have included related resources, and guided questions to help you start and continue a dialogue on the topic. The more we talk about it, the better we might be in detecting and preventing harm to patients.
