3. On a separate Word document, in APA 7th edition format, do all the following:
a) Describe your identified current workplace clinical problem impacting quality and how it negatively impacts patient care.
b) Regarding the clinical problem, explain what needs to be improved and why it needs to be improved.
c) Identify three (3) specific nursing actions that would be used to correct the problem.
d) Describe how you will know that clinical problem is improved following the implementation of the three (3) nursing actions you identified. In other words, what measurable outcomes are you hoping to see because of the nursing actions?
e) Identify two (2) ways that the workplace can adopt your identified nursing actions and continue to use them in the future of patient care.
4. In your paper, be sure to cite your sources (paraphrased or quoted) in APA 7th edition format.
