The framework is intended to supplement regulatory and employer standards, guidelines, policies and practices in each jurisdiction.
Nurses must consult with their regulatory body and individual employer for specific direction.

The framework is meant to guide all nurses: registered nurses, licensed/registered practical nurses, registered psychiatric nurses and nurse practitioners."
