2. Discuss steps for preparation
3. Apply the three steps of the severity, occurrence, and detection to the process improvement plan created in part B.
4. Explain how you would test the interventions from the process improvement plan from part B to improve care in a similar situation.
Note:You are not expected to carry out the fully, but you should explain each step, and how you would apply it to your process improvement plan.
D. Discuss how the professional nurse may function as a leader in promoting quality care and influencing quality improvement activities.

The candidate provides a logical discussion, with substantial detail, of a process improvement plan that would decrease the likelihood of a reoccurrence of the outcome of the scenario
The candidate provides a logical discussion, with substantial detail, of a change theory that could be used to implement the process improvement plan developed in B.
The candidate uses a failure mode and effects analysis, with substantial support, to project the likelihood that the process improvement plan suggested would not fail.
The candidate accurately identifies the members of the interdisciplinary team who will be included in the FMEA.
The candidate provides a logical discussion, with substantial detail, of the steps for preparing for the FMEA
The candidate appropriately applies, with substantial detail, the 3 steps of the FMEA (severity, occurrence, and detection) to the process improvement plan created in part B.
The candidate provides a logical explanation, with substantial support, of how the candidate would test the interventions from the process improvement plan from part B to improve care in a similar situation.
The candidate provides a logical discussion, with substantial detail, of how the professional nurse may function as a leader in promoting quality care and influencing quality improvement activities.
