The evaluative methods and tools are described, with attention to their reliability, validity, and sensitivity to nursing structures and processes. Individual chapters focus on topics like accountability, functional status, self-care, symptom management, pain, patient safety, patient satisfaction, job satisfaction, and minimum data sets.
