The practice of nursing in ICU varies from country to country, even within them. This is why some tasks are delegated to technical staff which probably affects the scores of the Nursing Activities Score.
Hello. According to the publication With instructions for use of NAS (Miranda et al 2003) should all persons belonging to the ICU Budget be included. So if an technician "do the" nursing activities for example Dialysis it is OK to score for that on that item. I have worked With the NAS from 2008 in Norway. If You have more question/comments please contact me. [email protected]. Allthe best Siv K. Stafseth
