A. Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN). B. Institute of Medicine (IOM). C. Centers for Disease Control (CDC). D. Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).

Correct Answer is A

Explanation

Choice A rationale
The Quality and Safety Education for Nurses (QSEN) project provides a roadmap to transform nursing by integrating six competencies: patient-centered care, teamwork and collaboration, evidence-based practice, quality improvement, safety, and informatics.
Choice B rationale
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) is a non-profit organization that provides unbiased and authoritative advice to decision makers and the public. While the IOM has made significant contributions to health care, it does not specifically develop safety competencies for nurses.
Choice C rationale
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is a national public health institute in the United States. It conducts and supports health promotion, prevention and preparedness activities in the United States, with the goal of improving overall public health.
Choice D rationale
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) is legislation that provides data privacy and security provisions for safeguarding medical information. While HIPAA contributes to the safety and privacy of patient information, it does not develop safety competencies for nurses.
