NSN808 Contemporary Issues in Acute Nursing

Acute nursing practice utilises complex evidence-based knowledge and management protocols that require specialist theoretical knowledge and technical skills to apply in the provision of person-centred care across the lifespan. The complex and dynamic health care environment requires you to have the ability to respond, adapt, implement, evaluate and communicate decisions based on scope and context of practice for a range of complex health care problems in a range of health care settings for individuals and families. In this unit you will focus on how to strengthen quality and safety of practice in acute care contexts.
