To what does resource management for nurses refer?
1. Licensure of RNs
2. Hiring of personnel
3. Evidence-based practice
4. Cost-effective approaches to quality care
Correct Answer: 4
Resource management uses cost-effective approaches to high-quality care. Basic resources include financial, physical, and human resources; but others are organizational systems, information systems, and technical capabilities. Licensure of RNs is the responsible of the state board of nursing and does not pertain to resource management for nurses. Hiring of personnel is a human resources and administrative concern. Evidenced based practice pertains to the use of the best scientific evidence, integrated with clinical experience, and incorporating patient values and preferences in the practice of professional nursing care.
