Nurse-sensitive indicators are those outcomes that are directly impacted by nursing care. Pressure ulcers, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and catheter-associated urinary tract infections are conditions that can be significantly influenced by the quality of nursing care, including prevention measures, monitoring, and management practices. Pain and congestive heart failure, while managed by nurses, are not specifically listed as nurse-sensitive indicators by the AHRQ.
