Patient safety is important in a nursing home. It's important that the well-being of the patient's needs are cared for. The most important aspect of safety in a nursing home is the patient's quality of life. One wouldn't want his or her patient to suffer a fall that could have been prevented with a simple assistance. It's not the injury that would harm the patient; it's the emotional and physical debilitation that would result in deteriorating the patient's quality of life. That is why there are walkers and orderlies to assist. This is why there are training programs and seminars, as well as best practices. Quality of life is most important for patient safety.

Typically not, both are registered nurses so they have the same authority and accountability when it comes to patient care. However some hospitals have implemented that they won't hire nurses with only an associates degree, so you'd have to look to see if that applies to your area.

Give an example of battery in the medical field?
Battery in the medical field can be as simple as a nurse or nursing assistant continuing to perform physical care after a patient has demanded not to be touched. Often, this form of legal tort is difficult to grasp and can be difficult to apply in real life situations. For example, (a rhetorical question), can a patient claim a tort of battery if the patient fell but the patient screams to the nurse, "Don't touch me!" Typically, patient safety comes first. The nurse or staff still has the obligation to move the patient to a secure location (bed) and to assess for injury. But, let's say this patient had a problem earlier with Nurse X and demands that nurse not touch him. If Nurse X finds him on the floor, it may be excellent for Nurse X to get other Staff to assist moving the patient to bed, rather than being by herself and risking a tort of battery. One of the most common examples of a tort of battery is to apply restraints when the patient has no order for restraints. Sometimes, facilities have standing orders that restraints can be used as long as the physician order is obtained within a very short time, 15-30 minutes. Check with a nursing supervisor about your facilities' policies and protocols.
