When there is inadequate NHPPD which of the following is increased?
a. patient satisfaction c. balanced budget
b. medication errors d. nurse satisfaction
B
Initiating nurse outcomes leads to comparisons for benchmarking best practice in the future and linking RN staffing perception to patient outcomes. Actual staffing compared to recommended staffing should be tracked. This will give a clue to other staffing issues. Medication errors is another measure that has been linked with NHPPD. When resources are scarce, data are imperative to drive needed change. The outcomes of ineffective staffing patterns and nursing care can be devastating to patients, staff, and the organization.
