Abstract

Hospital patients come in contact with a wide variety of equipment that is designed to administer health care as well as to make their stay more comfortable. Unfortunately, these devices are not always designed with patients in mind. This article presents a patient's perspective regarding her interactions with various products and how they may increase potential risks, such as falls, injury, contamination, discomfort, interrupted sleep, and false alarms to nurses.
