A. Understanding of Nursing
Quality Indicators
1. Define NQI
2. Identify at least 2 NQIs in the scenario
3. Choose one of those indicators and discuss how knowledge of the
NQI (risk factors, signs and symptoms) can guide the nurse’s
practice in identifying issues that may interfere with patient care
4. Use the resources listed above: NQIs Video, NQIs articles
B. Advancing Quality Patient
Care
1. Focus on one NQI from the scenario
2. What is done with data (provide examples of data collected) on
that NQI to make it meaningful
3. Directly discuss the role of data in quality care
4. Don’t forget to address quality patient care throughout the facility
5. Not looking for numbers, but what role can the data play in the QI
process. The video & NDNQI article discuss this concept.
C. Resolution of Ethical Issues 1. Identify the ethical/cultural issue
2. Focus on collaboration with others
3. Review the scenario and think about who could be used as a
resource for education related to the ethical/cultural issue
4. Identify a minimum of two resources, including one internal and
one external resource (outside of the facility) and what their roles
are to help resolve the issue
5. Be sure not to fix the situation as the Nursing Supervisor – you
must collaborate here!
