ممرض في وحدة المراقبة لاحظ أن إنذارات الشاشة تتكرر كثيراً بسبب حركة المرضى، وأن الزملاء صاروا يطفئونها. ما الإجراء الأنسب؟

On a telemetry unit, alarms keep sounding from patient movement and colleagues have started silencing them. What is the most appropriate action?

1. Turn the alarm volume down to zero for patient comfort
2. Ignore repeated alarms because they are mostly false
3. Individualise alarm limits and improve electrode placement per policy
4. Turn off all alarms at night while the patients are asleep

Answer: C) Individualise alarm limits and improve electrode placement per policy. Alarm fatigue is a safety hazard because a real alarm may be missed. The fix is patient-specific limits, daily electrode changes with skin preparation, and never disabling alarms.
