How is ursing care defined?
Rather narrowly. It is defined as ‘care provided, delegated, monitored or supervised by a registered nurse’. This does not include the care provided by a nursing or care assistant, even if that care is delegated or supervised by the registered nurse. In this context, it is the act of supervision or delegation that is classed as ‘nursing’, rather than the care itself. Personal care is not defined as nursing care.
