The ANA Scope and Standards of Practice describe how registered nurses use the nursing process as the foundation for decision-making and care delivery. These are the standards of care you will be held accountable to as an RN. They are the basis for evaluating the appropriateness and quality of your nursing care in the event you are involved in a malpractice lawsuit.
