The principles identified by the ANA addressing patient care and staffing recommend that staffing be maintained to provide quality patient care for the individual patient as well as the unit population as a whole and not be based on previously used nursing hours per patient day.Mandated staffing ratios is not a recommendation.The ANA recommended that the old method be retired or at least questioned for its efficacy.Option D is incorrect because the recommendation was that staffing be based on patient needs.
