results.
Patient outcomes include functional and behavioural changes, trust, comfort,
quality of life, and happiness.
Nurse-derived outcomes include physiological changes, complications, and goal
achievement.
System-derived outcomes include readmissions, cost-effectiveness, and
resource use.

spiritual entities. Consider the big picture. Nurses have interrelated dimensions
with the purpose of restoring patients to their optimal degree of wellbeing as
defined by the patient.
