Have you ever stopped to think about how dehydration impacts your ability to care for patients?  Probably not...but there is an impact!  A 2018 study found that over 50% of nurses in hospital settings reported signs of dehydration during their shifts.  The impact?  Cognitive functions such as concentration, alertness, and short-term memory are impaired with dehydration, which can directly impact a nurse’s ability to perform tasks accurately and efficiently. This, in turn, can compromise patient care.

Welcome to Episode 23 where we discuss the impact of dehydration on patient care, and more importantly, what to do about it!  Currently, drinks at the nurse's station are regulated by OSHA’s Bloodborne Pathogens Standard...but what about a standard to mandate safe water storage on every unit.  

Brandon has already sent an inquiry urging OSHA take a look at this...the action from this episode is that you do it as well.  This has an impact on our patients!
