Compliance with the nursing services condition of participation is crucial for an organization’s success because nursing touches most patients who enter the hospital. Every hospital nurse needs to understand the CMS requirements for nursing documentation, medication orders, IV medication administration, beyond-use dates, standing orders, and care plans. This knowledge will help hospitals prepare for the increased scrutiny and surveillance by surveyors.

Learning Objectives:-

• Describe the basic requirements of the nursing services condition of participation.
• Discuss medication administration requirements. 
• Explain nursing documentation and care planning challenges.
• Explain requirements for reporting transfusion reactions, adverse drug reactions, and medication errors.
