Purpose

Published June 2020

CRNA’s mandate is to protect the public and the purpose of this document is to support registrants to consider their responsibilities and accountabilities related to patient safety as reflected in the Practice Standards for Regulated Members (CARNA, 2013) and the Code of Ethics for Registered Nurses (Canadian Nurses Association [CNA], 2017). Registrants must consider patient safety at all times and be able to articulate how it is reflected in their scope of practice.
