Explanation: 1. Patient care unit is a principle in which the staffing is based on the client acuity and nursing
care hours per day. Staff-related principles focus on the clinical competencies of the nurses
practicing in that area. Organizational-related principles reflect values and planning to fill
staff positions in a timely manner. There is not a client-related principle.
