Once you have completed reading the 35-page report of citations from the surveyor citing deficient practices in
nursing (left side of the page). Please read the plan of correction (right side of the report) which is where the
facility responded with what they would do to become compliant.
Prepare a 3-page typed paper inclusive of introduction, respond to the questions below, and provide a
summary. Times New Roman, 12 size font, typed, cover, reference page, and 3 cited references are required.
It is recommended you use the paper template provided by VNI. Support your opinions with authoritative
references (references in the past 5 years, not Wikipedia, WebMD, but published articles, peer-reviewed, or
textbooks). Please review the last paper you submitted and show progress by not making the same errors in
this paper. Point deduction for repeat errors can be up to 20 points.
Please make the questions your headers in your paper.
Question 1: Which deficiency was the most egregious in nature, in your opinion and why.
Question 2: If you were the manager on the unit where the most egregious deficiency occurred, what would
you have done differently to correct/prevent the issue from occurring again. This must be different than what
the plan of correction already states.
Question 3: What was your impression after reading this survey report on the types of overall deficiencies
cited? Did you feel the surveyor was fair in writing the deficient practices? why or why not?
Question 4: How did reading this survey report help you to become a better nurse in practice? Please be very
specific and share at least two ways this assignment will help you to improve your nursing practice.
