Replies to Deborah Cruz

According to Faubion(n.d), nursing accountability is defined as accepting responsibility for honest and ethical conduct in the interest of patients with diverse backgrounds and illnesses. Faubion further explains that nursing accountability is a practice where nurses use evidence based practices in conjunction with critical thinking and professional judgement in order to provide care that allows for patient outcomes that are beneficial.

In my daily practice, one of the tasks I oversee is isolation and quarantine periods for multiple illnesses. There have been times when counterparts interpret timelines differently and I must be able to recognize any such error, and provide the evidence to support a need to either discontinue or compete the proper quarantine or isolation period. In performing this duty, I hold myself and the team accountable, we do the right thing, and the patient will have a proper outcome. Failing to follow proper guidelines in cases that are set by the CDC could put the public’s health at risk by prematurely reintroducing patients into the environment.
