Description The following Masters of Nursing thesis develops a project aimed to create policies, procedures, and education to clinic staff on providing vaccinations
Abstract A clinic was responsible for providing vaccinations to employees and the general public. However, because this is a new responsibility for the nurses working in the clinic, no processes or procedures exist. For example, the clinic has no policies or procedures for storing, handling, administering vaccines, or preparing staff for this new responsibility. It is essential to provide the team access to these resources to provide safe patient care and avoid adverse events and high medical costs. This project aimed to create policies, procedures, and education to support this change. Three themes came to light during a literature review related to avoiding medication errors, the nurse's role in patient education and perceptions of vaccines, and following CDC recommendations to help decrease adverse events. The evidence concerning these themes found the need to create policies, procedures, and educational content regarding vaccines. Patients and staff will benefit from this project because providing education will help them fulfill their responsibilities, and having a process in place will ensure patient safety.
