After the implementation of a well-researched fall prevention protocol,patients at the agency have a lower incidence of falls than the national average.Which term will the nurse use to describe this finding?

A) Sentinel event
B) Qualitative research
C) Manuscript narrative
D) Nursing-sensitive outcome

A nursing-sensitive outcome focuses on how patients and their health care problems are affected by nursing interventions (ONS,2012).Nursing-sensitive outcomes look at the effects of interventions within the scope of nursing practice.Sometimes a problem is presented to a committee in the form of a sentinel event,an unexpected occurrence involving death or serious physical or psychological injury of a patient.Qualitative research is analysis of interviews,observations,and/or surveys to measure people's perceptions,feelings,or views of phenomena about which little is known.Manuscript narrative is the "middle section" or narrative of a manuscript that differs according to the type of evidence-based article it is.
