The nurse manager determines that a staff nurse planned quality care for an assigned patient. What did the manager observe to come to this conclusion?
1. Incorporation of patient preferences
2. Accurate calculation of intake and output
3. Delegation of tasks to unlicensed assistive personnel
4. Logging out of the computer system after documenting
Correct Answer: 1
The incorporation of patient preferences and values to individualize care is a benchmark for quality nursing care. Calculating intake and output, delegating tasks, and logging out of the computer system do not necessarily indicate that the nurse planned quality care for the patient.
