The nursing executive attempting to incorporate the American Association of Critical-Care Nurses' (AACN's) Healthy Work Environment Standards would formulate which policy? The manager would create a policy to
a. encourage all nurses to return to school to complete degrees.
b. limit environmental hazards currently present in the facility.
c. provide discounts to a local fitness center for all employees.
d. use a standard "handoff" report format at change of shift.
D
The AACN standards contain six areas, including skilled communication. Using a standardized handoff tool would improve nurses' communication skills.
Although important, encouraging all nurses to return to school to complete degrees is not related to the AACN standards.
Although important, limiting environmental hazards currently present in the facility is not related to the AACN standards.
Providing discounts to a local fitness center for all employees would be a nice benefit but is not related to the AACN standards.
