HealthcarePatient Safety Management4HighNurse$ implied
A nurse is concerned about a fluid pump being off for an unknown duration, creating uncertainty about whether a pediatric NPO patient received necessary fluids and making it difficult to determine accountability.
There is no reliable way to track IV pump status over time or to verify that fluids were being delivered continuously, leading to confusion and potential patient safety issues.
