A group of faculty members is overhauling the curriculum for the nursing program based on recommendations set forth by the Institute of Medicine

Question

The nursing program would most likely include which of the following in the outcomes for students attending the program? Select all that apply. a. Ability to provide patient-centered care
b. Ability to work effectively with teams
c. Understanding evidence-based practice
d. Understanding that only medial diagnoses are important
e. Ability to use health information technology
f. understanding that nursing is more important than other health care professions

Answer 1

A, B, C, E
Recommendations set forth by IOM include the ability to provide patient-centered care, ability to work
effectively with teams, understand evidence-based practice, and the ability to use health information
technology. There was no mention of any one profession being more important than another, nor was
there any mention of the fact that only medial diagnoses are important. Nursing diagnoses are
important to nurses because they identify areas of patient need that are addressed by nurses.
