The nursing manager asks a nurse to participate in data collecting for the unit. The nurse cooperates in order to:
1. Advance the nurse's practice.
2. Participate in the quality improvement process.
3. Prevent problems from arising in the unit.
4. Fulfill legal requirements.
2. Participate in the quality improvement process.
Rationale:
Quality improvement is the name for the processes used by an agency to measure and improve aspects of client care. The nurse may advance practice, but that is usually accomplished by returning to school for a higher degree. Preventing problems from arising is only one benefit of quality management. Nurses are encouraged to participate in quality improvement programs but are not legally required to do so.
