Many apologies all - we have been off the radar for around a week, as we are working very hard to create the NurseEducationCymru website! We will be back with great content tomorrow! #NurseTwitter#barewithus#knowledgeispower
@mountgirl77 Yes, absolutely. Reading the situation is essential to our safety. There will of course be times when its safer to stay back and evaluate. Non verbal ques are top priority in violent situations - thanks for mentioning this.
Good de-escalation skills and a non judgemental attitude is essential for managing violence in highly pressurised clinical areas. Learning and observing from those around you allows you to reflect on practice. Always call for support from colleagues if needed #NurseTwitter
This is a great article. We used to deal with lots of violence and aggression in my old role on a poisons unit - the first thing I was taught (many years ago) was how to de-escalate a situation. Not easy but comes with time and watching great nurses at work #learnfromthebest

Be clear on blood in the urine;
The key message promoted was 'If you notice blood in your pee, even if it’s ‘just the once’, tell your doctor.'
Any abnormal blood reported urine should be investigated. https://t.co/LxnWrwVTGV
