NURS 3100 Assignment – Quality Nursing Part 1 & 2

NURS 3100 Issues/Trends in Nursing Week 4 Assignment

Assignment: Quality Nursing (Part 1 of 2)

Welcome to Part 1 of this assignment!

This Assignment also takes you back to the Library. The Library is an invaluable resource for discovering nursing and health care–related databases and professional articles. Continue to practice and refine your writing skills. Learn how to use APA in-text citations and references. Use the Grammarly program—it is an invaluable writing tool to enhance your work.

Quality Nurses use Quality Indicators (QIs) for several purposes. QIs highlight potential quality concerns, identify areas that need further study and investigation, and track changes over time. The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) QIs include Prevention Quality Indicators, Inpatient Quality Indicators, Patient Safety Indicators, and Pediatric Quality Indicators (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, n.d.). You will use these quality indicators within your Assignment.

In subsequent weeks, you will continue working in this substantive area.
