nursing care” has become essential on day to day functioning. Nursing
audit is a way of ensuring quality nursing care. It
is a process of examination scrutiny by qualified nursing personnel
to identify, examine, or verify the performance of certain specified
aspects of nursing
care by

- Achieving deserved and feasible quality of nursing care,
- Stimulating better nursing records maintenance,
- Focuses on patient care provided and not on care provider,
- Contributes to research in nursing.
