In extreme form, it might be limited to completion of tasks indicated by patient management protocols and physicians' orders.

Discuss why this broad view is preferable, in terms non-nursing stakeholders, such as trustees, physicians, or patients, might appreciate.
- Describe how the long-term need for nurses is determined and the shift-by-shift variation in need accommodated? (See also Chapter 8, Additional QFD 2.6.)
- Safe practices: What is the role of the National Quality Forum (NQF) in developing guidelines for safe nursing practices?

- Who is responsible for presenting the overall budget to the Governing Board of a hospital? Describe the person's role in the budget process.
