About This Lesson
Practice identifying waste in real nursing scenarios.
Unit Walkthrough
<1 minSpot the Waste
Match each nursing scenario to the waste category it best represents:
A nurse searches three locations to find the portable vital signs monitor because it wasn't returned to its designated spot.
Lab specimens are hand-carried to the lab instead of using the pneumatic tube system.
The medication room has three months of supplies stacked deep, with items in the back expiring.
A patient cleared for discharge at 8 AM finally leaves at 3 PM waiting for prescriptions.
Vital signs are documented in the EMR, on a paper flowsheet, and in nursing notes.
Medications are prepared for all patients at 6 AM, but some are discharged before noon.
An unclear physician order requires a clarification call before medication can be given.
