The six main points of nursing risk assessment are patient factors, nurse factors, management factors, and physician factors.
I. Patient factors
(1) High nursing risk exists in critically ill patients, patients with rapid changes in condition, many comorbidities, heavy injuries, or complex lesions, difficult surgery, and high surgical risk.
(2) Individual patient differences: such as highly allergic patients, there is a risk of allergic reactions when applying other drugs.
(3) Patients are susceptible to cognitive and emotional psychological crisis after health problems, and if they do not receive effective psychological support from nursing staff in time after the psychological crisis, they can produce nurse-patient conflicts and even evolve into disputes.
Second, the nurse factor
As the complexity of the patient's disease and condition increases, patients and their families are increasingly aware of the law and self-protection awareness of the hospital's service attitude and quality of care more and more demanding, coupled with the orientation of the news media and the judiciary's direct involvement in the medical dispute caused by factors such as the increase in medical disputes year by year.
Clinical nurses have more direct contact with patients and more opportunities for conflicts and disputes, but the nurses did not change their concepts in time, lack of knowledge of the law, focus on treatment, light on records, and insufficient level of nursing record writing, which is a potential safety hazard.

Risk Assessment Process Considerations
There are a few key issues to consider during the risk assessment process.
First, determine what is the object (or asset) being protected? What is its direct and indirect value?
Second, what are the potential threats to the asset? What is the problem that is causing the threat? What is the likelihood of the threat occurring?
Third, what weaknesses exist in the asset that could be exploited by the threat? And how easy is it to exploit?
Fourth, what kind of damage or negative impact will the organization face if a threat event occurs?
Finally, what security measures should the organization take to minimize the damage caused by the risk?
The process of solving the above questions is the process of risk assessment.
