Explain accountability - ANS means that you are responsible professionally and legally for the
type and quality of nursing care provided. You must remain current and competent in nursing
and scientific knowledge and technical skills.

You collaborate with other health professionals to develop the best treatment plan for this
patient's surgical wound infection.
Explain responsibility - ANS is the knowledge that you are accountable for your decisions,
actions, and critical thinking, when caring for patients you are responsible for correctly
performing nursing care activities on the basis of standards of practice

multiple patients at the same time) when administering medications.

exercises for a patient who recently had surgery
