The control group received the routine of the hospital and in the experimental group risk management program was implemented. Preparation of electrolyte concentration skills was examined by valid and reliable researcher check list. Data were collected in pre and post-test with SPSS software, version 21 descriptive and inferential statistics were analyzed. Results: nurses’ skill in preparing the condensed electrolyte, before the intervention and control groups, was respectively 96.16±3.2 and 17.17±0.2, and in two weeks after the implementation of risk management programs was respectively 27.27±8.1 and 83.17±2.2. In the pre-test, independent t test, a significant difference was observed between the two groups in the nursing skills (P>0.05). While in the post-test, significant differences in scores between the experimental and control groups were nursing skills (P<0.001). Paired t-test, before and after the intervention, the experimental group showed a significant difference (P<0.001).
