Abstract

This best practice guideline is intended to provide direction to nurses during daily practice in all care settings, both institutional and community. This guideline does not describe in-depth interventions for special populations such as youths, although the recommendations may also be applied to this group. This guideline contains recommendations for all Registered Nurses (RNs) and Registered Practical Nurses (RPNs). It is acknowledged that the individual competency of nurses varies between individuals and across categories of nursing professionals, and is based on knowledge, skills, attitudes and judgment, enhanced over time by experience and education.
