Talking about change, reinforcing success, and education when hiring are all part of creating a new culture. Continue to discuss ways to improve the lunch break process and the communication that occurs during that time. Communication and teamwork are necessary to ensure meal breaks; are necessary in nursing practice to ensure patient and nurse safety.

Trends in patient satisfaction and safety, for example falls, should be analyzed to determine the effect of uninterrupted meal breaks by staff. Ideally, patient satisfaction and safety should improve if nursing staff take effective and uninterrupted meal breaks. Trends should improve as teamwork and communication increase, resulting in brightening response calls during breaks and awareness of where the nurse is when they don't see them or another nurse comes in to attend to their needs.
