Nurse-sensitive outcomes refer to outcomes that are impacted by nursing care processes and actions. These outcomes include hospital-acquired conditions, lengths of stay, and complications.

know this is a really hot topic right now and you probably all have a lot of opinions about it
and that’ s good. That being said, even if you disagree with your classmates, please keep it
civil! Its totally acceptable and even encouraged to disagree but don’ t be rude. Debate and
