Multiple wrist bands

[cgSN2010]

The hospital I am doing clinicals at just instituted the new wristband policy in which there are different colored wrist bands for fall risk, limb restriction, allergies, along with the normal wrist band stating name and so on. There are also stickers that indicate DNR that can be placed on the wrist bands. Are any other hospitals doing this? What are your thoughts?

re:multiple wrist bands!!!!

we are using 3 different colors of wristbands in the hospital. Red for allegies,white for ordinary/normal , then green if the patient is diabetic

thanks for all the feedback! It is interesting to learn about how some hospitals are adapting the colors. The hosptial I am at uses the "Standardized colors" however they do put the limb restriction bands on the restricted limb.
