400 words for each task, referenced separately for task 1 and 2 in APA 7^th ed. This assessment task provides you an opportunity to develop your understanding of contemporary safety and quality issues in healthcare and the role of the registered nurse in providing safe, high quality care. The NSQHS Standards (2021) identify several high-prevalence adverse events to protect the public from harm and improve overall health care quality. These standards provide nationally consistent statements regarding the standard of care that consumers can expect from each health service Your NSQHS standard: Preventing and Controlling Infections Standard Task 1 o Explain the purpose and scope of your NSQHS standard. o Discuss the implications and significance when healthcare that either meets or falls below your chosen standard is provided to consumers. For example, you may discuss the implications for patients, clinicians, healthcare organisations, and society, and the significance in terms of morbidity, mortality, length of stay, and cost of care Task 2 o Discuss the roles and responsibilities of a registered nurse under your chosen NSQHS standard, and the actions and interventions that a registered nurse should take to provide safe, high-quality care to patients with an acute health condition. In addition to referencing the NSQHS standards and related Australian Commission of Safety and Quality in Healthcare (ACSQHC) documents, you will need to support your statements about implications, significance and nursing actions and interventions with other literature. The best place to start for this is to look up the references that are cited by the ACSQHC in the standards and other documents. This task is an opportunity to practice your academic literacies in a low-stakes, relatively small written task. It needs to be presented in academic writing style (APA 7th ed.) and be appropriately referenced.
