Assignment task:
The DNS and administrator are reviewing last year's workers compensation report and notice that injuries to the back were the most common. Which of the following is most likely to lead to the DNS learning more about the root cause of the injuries so that he or she can implement changes that will enhance worker safety? The DNS schedules a mandatory all staff in-service to teach everyone how to use a gait belt and mechanical lift and revises the policy and procedures to require all staff to assist with residents' transfers. The DNS mandates that all residents will be transferred using two staff and a mechanical lift. The DNS requires that all clinical staff have their competency to transfer residents verified by the physical therapy assistant within the next 30 days, and proof of competency will be sent to the insurance company. The DNS studies the factors contributing to each incident and learns that most injuries occurred when staff said the mechanical lifts were not available.
