The document discusses nursing standards and their importance. Standards provide guidelines for nursing practice and help ensure quality of care. They outline what the nursing profession expects, promote best practices, and provide accountability. Standards aid in developing competencies, understanding roles, and guiding decision making. They also provide a framework for research, communication, and legal implications of practice. Standards should be realistic, attainable, clearly defined, and periodically reviewed.
