The process of developing nursing standards of practice in NJ where I currently work, is determined primary by the American Nurses Association, the NJ Board of Nursing, NPA and state officials. The outline they use in defining and making up the standards of nursing care include:

Standards of Practice define assessment, diagnostic, intervention, coordination of care, teaching, consulting, and evaluation competencies.
Professional Performance standards identify role functions, driven by ethics, EBP, communication, education, leadership, collaboration, job performance evaluation, and environmental health.
Guidelines for specialty practice are policies of care for a specific group of people
Required testing and licensure needed to carry out specific standards of care
Standard code of Ethics
Entities involved are as mentioned above, NJ Board of Nursing, ANA, State regulators and state officials and organization such as the NCSBN and the use of the Nurse Practice Act.

The standards of practice influence the nursing process by incorporating: Assessment, Diagnosing, Planning, Implementing, and Evaluating in everyday nursing practice. I work in a med. surgical unit with telemetry patients, and we incorporate all of these to each patient we care for. When I receive a new admission, I do a detailed assessment and if I find any new issues, they are addressed according to policy. For example, I had a confused patient come in, admitted with altered mental status who was from a nursing home. Patient was not in a hospital gown when he was sent to my unit from the Er. The resident on call placed this patient on telemetry observation due to a abnormally high troponin level. When he finally got to the unit, the patient care tech and I removed all of his clothing and found a very large stage 3 on his buttocks that was not addressed on admission, therefore I implemented the order of a wound consult, and initiate skin injury protocol, turned the patient q 2 hours, and provided wound care as needed.

Attached are really nice photos demonstrating the Nursing Standards and regulations.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
