Problem:
A nurse manager on a hospital unit is reviewing adverse events over the last 6 months and notes an increase in client falls and medication errors. The nurse manager also recognizes that there has been higher staff turnover and increased nurse-client ratios within the last 6 months. Using the nursing process to improve safe staffing, the nurse manager will need to prioritize which action as an initial step? Inspire staff to become involved in advocating for nursing legislation at the state level. Engage with human resource leaders to help mitigate unit or department disruptions. Become more involved with daily shift-to-shift planning and client care. Assess the unit's past application of nursing workload tools and their effectiveness. Need Online Tutoring?
