In attempting to practice within legal limits, psychiatric nurses must demonstrate safe and acceptable clinical practice. Clinical standards and legal standards change over time, and it can be difficult to be aware of all the changes that occur. Ways exist to minimize the risk of litigation, however. Keeping focused on the patient and attempting to provide the best clinical care possible should guide practice, not fear of litigation. It is wise to be familiar with the law, institutional policies, and professional standards, but nothing can replace sound clinical judgment.

Security and Safety managers in today's healthcare facilities need to use creative thinking and resourcefulness, to juggle competing issues in psychiatric hospitals, wards, or units. Using a 3-step process of accountability, access control, and scenario exercises, these managers can mitigate the real-world risk assessment discoveries that might not be evident in well-documented facility policies, staff training, or even written surveys.
