Nurses play a crucial role in ensuring patient care is delivered safely, effectively, and compassionately. They provide patient assessments, evaluations, and care in hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, schools, workplaces, and ambulatory settings. Nurses recognize patients' needs holistically, including their social, mental, emotional, and spiritual needs, and attend to them in a caring way. The nursing practice is guided by the Nursing Practice Act (NPA), which outlines standards and scopes. These standards include comprehensive nursing assessments, collaboration with healthcare teams, patient-centered healthcare plans, critical thinking and decision making in the execution of independent nursing strategies.
