Understanding research approaches in healthcare is essential for nurses to offer quality care and address patient needs and concerns by using evidence-based practice interventions. Patient safety issues like falls, medication errors, infections, and injuries such as pressure ulcers affect the overall outcomes and experiences of the healthcare process and disease prognosis. The essence of this paper is to explore research studies and methods used in these articles on the selected article of patient safety.
