What is ANA standard of clinical practice?

The ANA (American Nurses Association) Standards of Clinical Practice provide a framework for the delivery of nursing care, ensuring it is safe, effective, and ethical. These standards outline the responsibilities of nurses in various domains, such as assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation, and evaluation of patient care. They serve to promote professional accountability and guide nurses in their decision-making processes, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes and fostering a high standard of care in nursing practice.
