● Evidence based Practice; Answer: Your practice needs to be based on
current evidence, not just according to your education and experiences
and the policies and procedures of health care facilities. Health care
organizations can show their commitment to each health stakeholder
(e.g., patients, insurance companies, and governmental agencies) to
reduce health care errors and improve patient safety by implementing
evidence-based practices (National Quality Forum, 2010).
EX; the registered nurse integrates evidence and research into practice.
● Accountability; Answer: Accountability means that you are
responsible professionally and legally for the type and quality of nursing
care provided. You just remain current and competent in nursing and
scientific knowledge and technical skills.
● Standards of Nursing Practice; Answer: The Standards of Practice
describe a competent level of nursing care. The levels of care are
demonstrated by a critical thinking model known as the nursing process:
assessment, diagnosis, identification and planning, implementation, and
evaluation (ANA, 2010b). The nursing process is the foundation of
clinical decision making and includes all significant actions taken by
nurses in providing care to patients.
