about it's setting, vision, mission, philosophy, and objectives together with that of the nursing

with that of the nursing division.

Setting of a hospital is one of the basic yet important matter for rendering health care
services to patients and with respect to setting of a hospital first of all it is worth considering the
environment theory of Florence Nightingale in which she stated “the act of utilizing the
environment of the patient to assist him in his recovery.” in short she stressed the importance of
the relationship of hospital setting and patients thereby all that surrounds human beings is
considered in relation to their state of health.

convenient basing from their very competent staffs and numerous patients who recovers fast
from their treatment on top of that when it comes to the hospital’s philosophy, mission, and
vision they

3. Find the number of nursing personnel needed for 250 patients in Region 2 Trauma and

Medical Center.

1. Tertiary Hospital

2. Minimal Care = 250 x .30 = 75

Intermediate Care = 250 x .45 = 112.5

Intensive Care = 250 x .15 = 37.5

Highly Sp. Care = 250 x .1 = 25

Total: 250

3. Minimal Care = 1.5hrs x .30 = 112.5

Intermediate Care = 3hrs x .45 = 337.5

Intensive Care = 4.5hrs x .15 = 168.75

Highly Sp. Care = 6hrs x 25 = 150

Total: 768.75 NCH/day

4. 768.75 x 365 = 280, 593.75 NCH/year

5. 40hrs/wk = 213 x 8 = 1704 hrs/yr

6. Nursing Personnel

280, 593.75/1704 hrs/year = 165 personnel

165 x .15 = 25 relievers

165 + 25 = 190 personnel

7. Tertiary = 65:35

190 x .65 = 124 professional

190 x .35 = 67 non-professional

evaluation of the whole nursing management process or the use of formal authority to assure
achievement of goals and objectives whereas action is taken to correct discrepancies between
this standards and actual performance.

the full support of top management related to job description stated the criteria of evaluation
that clearly applies procedures of appraisal that should be consistent besides this another
factor is it should be based on the philosophy, purpose and objectives of the ward or unit,
wherein the job description should be written in such a manner that standards of job
performance can be identified for each job and that the appraisal tool used should be suited to the
purposes for which it will be utilized and is accompanied by clear instructions for its use
