Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Staffing according to national standards would allow for an ideal work environment as it ensures that the nurse-patient ratio is at a safe and manageable level. By reducing the overall number of registered nurses or ancillary staff, it may cause an increase in workload and reduce the quality of care provided to patients. Staffing to 50% of the national standard may also result in an unsafe work environment as it does not meet the recommended level of staffing.
