Answer this prompt based on the notes provided as an attachment.
The purpose of this activity is to appraise the role of nursing in creating a safe patient environment through nursing led interventions. As the largest health system workforce in the world, nurses are the single most significant contributors to patient safety and outcomes. Literature suggests that quality of care depends to a large degree on nurses (Kane et al., 2007; Lacey and Cox, 2009; Landon et al., 2006; Sales et al., 2008). The Joint Commission, the leading independent accrediting body for health care organizations, believes that “the future state of nursing is inextricably linked to the strides in patient care quality and safety that are critical to the success of America’s health care system, today and tomorrow” (Joint Commission, 2010). While quality measures have historically focused on conditions or diseases, many of the quality measures used over the past 20+ years address how well nurses are able to do their jobs.
The role of the professional nurse has many facets. This activity will provide the opportunity for you to appraise a patient safety concern and the role of the nurse as a leader in creating change.

Read for understanding the pre-reading assignment located in Module X of N268 BruinLearn site.
Actively participate in the simulation activity.Simulation will include a simulation scenario pre-brief, simulation, and a debrief.
Using the provided guidelines in Module Week 4 of N268 BruinLearn site complete the post simulation appraisal.
Submit your completed post simulation appraisal through Module Week 4 of N268 BruinLearn site.
Submission FormatPlease submit your completed work by uploading a Microsoft Word Document in Module Week 4 of N268 BruinLearn site.Time FrameThe post simulation appraisal is due by 8 am 08/04/2023Criteria for SuccessA successful submission will include components of reflection on the reading and activity. This means reading for understanding prior to the activity and a true reflection of the activity after the simulation scenario and debriefing has concluded. Your appraisal assignment should also show critical thinking and recommendations based on current evidence and theories related to change management. Using specific examples of what was observed in the simulation activity is highly recommended. Students are also highly recommended to review the provided rubric and ask questions regarding the assignment prior to the due date. Use of office hours, the campus writing center, or an app such as Grammarly is very much encouraged. APA must be 7th edition professional paper.This assignment is 5% of your total grade. Missing class on the date of this activity will result in a zero in this assignment.
