Under this category is the Direct Care Competency which requires the nurse to participate with patients to enhance their lives directly. Theoretically, its primary basis is to holistically and adequately manage to nurse health and disease (Gay et al.,2009). Its population is composed of young adults, and older adults. In many parts of the world, through this competency, patients have been comprehensively and holistically assessed using both innovative and evidence-based techniques to asses’ illness and wellness of these patients. The role of a master’s level nurse is to; asses, obtain data, to screen, diagnose and assess the interactions of a patient. The healthcare environments to shape the competency plans to offer adult health care through educated gerontology nurses, accredit clinical nurse specialists, to license Advanced Practice Registered Nurses(APRNs).
With a significant aim of tackling the difficulties that future nurses may find in the field, The Quality and Safety Education for Nurses(QSEN), was established to encourage these nurses with knowledge skills and attitude(KSAs).

Under this category are the informatics competency, which involves the employment of technology to enhance safety and quality an example, in this case, is “Value nurses” where nurses are integrated into the selection, manufacturing and implementation of educational technology to promote patient care. Informatics competency utilises Electronic Medical Records(EMRs) to administer medication which significantly improves both patients and nurse safety. It is quite clear that the use of technology for medical prescription reduces the errors that might be involved and from the previous research, it reduces patient’s death by 34%. The nurse’s role is to use information technology to practice evidence-based medicine and to improve quality to improve patient’s health.
