The consistency of the diagnosis and the outcomes of the patients were also compared. Results: The nursing quality of 10 surgical units was improved markedly from 2001 to 2002. Conclusions:The screened 20 items are commonly used in perioperative patients. If used correctly, they could play a strong pragmatic and directive role in nursing practice.
