Abstract
Hypoglycemia is a significant safety concern that can affect clinical outcomes. This quantitative research, using a prospective causal-comparative design, investigated the effect of education on the nurse's adherence to the hypoglycemic protocol and the incidence of hypoglycemia at one cardiovascular hospital. This evidence-based practice supports patient safety.
