*This is my adverse event*: In my workplace, I experienced an adverse case of a patient who suffered from an episode of unconsciousness upon standing up post dialysis treatment. Patient sustained a fall forward to the floor and obtained a deep laceration to his forehead. As a nurse, I used my knowledge by making sure the patient is safe while lying on the floor and pressure was applied immediately to the area to stop the bleeding. 911 was called and needles were removed safely, and hemostasis achieved at the access site. All protocol was followed and patient was transferred to the nearest hospital. The patient was able to share relevant information after the fact, which helped us get a better understanding of what was happening to him prior to the event.
