Through observations and interactions during the visit , several key areas for improvement of nursing were identified.

These included pain assessment, infection control, and professional communication with patients and their families.

These included the care of vulnerable elderly patients (with attention to dementia and delirium), pediatric emergency response using the ABCD method, and fundamental wound care.
