nursing care. Agency policies, procedures, and protocols also provide appropriate
guidelines for care standards.

condition that describe the sequence and timing of interventions that should result in
expected patient outcomes. --> Adopted within a healthcare setting to reduce variation
in care management, to limit costs of care, and to evaluate the effectiveness of care.

Any nurse who fails to meet appropriate standards of care invites allegations of
negligence or malpractice

comply with the needed care

with strangers, education
