Which of the following are identified as National Patient Safety Goals? (Select all that apply)

Choice A reason:

Better Care is one of the goals of the Triple Aim plan, which focuses on improving the overall quality of care, including patient safety, effectiveness, and satisfaction.

Choice B reason:

Universal Health Care, while a broader goal of many health reform efforts, is not explicitly one of the Triple Aim goals of the ACA. The Triple Aim specifically targets improvements in individual care, health of populations, and reduction in costs.

Choice C reason:

Affordable Care is another goal of the Triple Aim plan, aiming to reduce the cost of health care for individuals and the government without sacrificing quality.

Choice D reason:

Healthy People/Healthy Communities is aligned with the Triple Aim's goal of improving the health of populations by addressing public health and preventive care.

Choice A reason: A novice nurse is more likely to rely on formal, theoretical knowledge because they have limited clinical experience. They often depend on established guidelines and protocols to guide their critical thinking and clinical reasoning.

Choice B reason: An expert nurse, with extensive clinical experience, is likely to integrate theoretical knowledge with practical experience. They use critical thinking and clinical reasoning that is informed by both their formal education and their experiential learning.

Choice C reason: A retired nurse may have once relied on formal knowledge but may not be currently practicing, and their skills could be outdated due to changes in practice standards and medical knowledge.

Choice D reason: A clinical nurse, depending on their level of experience, may rely on formal knowledge to varying degrees. However, without specifying the level of expertise, it is difficult to determine the extent of their reliance on theoretical knowledge.
