Assignment target ranges are intended as a balancing guide. Patient count, individual care needs, nurse experience, available support staff, unit conditions, clinical judgment, and organizational staffing requirements should also be considered. Target ranges are not validated safe-staffing thresholds and do not determine whether an assignment is safe.
