This guideline focuses on:
(1) Practice recommendations: directed at the nurse to guide practice regarding assessment and screening for delirium, dementia and depression in older adults
(2) Education recommendations: directed at educational institutions and organizations in which nurses work to support its implementation

The Person-and Family-Centred Care best practice guideline can be used to enhance the quality of partnerships between health-care providers with individuals accessing care, ultimately improving clinical outcomes.

This nursing best practice guideline (BPG) is intended to replace the RNAO BPG Adult Asthma Care Guidelines for Nurses: Promoting Control of Asthma (2004) and its supplement (2007). It is to be used by nurses and other members of the interprofessional health-care team to enhance the quality of their practice pertaining to the assessment and management of adult asthma, ultimately improving clinical and health outcomes through the use of evidence-based practices.

The RNAO Best Practice Guideline Subcutaneous Administration of Insulin in Adults with Type 2 Diabetes (2004, 2009) is retired as of March 2020.

Comprehensive and up-to-date evidence-based recommendations for the prevention and management of diabetes are available. RNAO encourages users of this guideline to review the 2018 Diabetes Canada Clinical Practice Guidelines.

Supporting Adults who Anticipate or Live with an Ostomy is a best practice guideline (BPG) that provides nurses and the interprofessional team with evidence-based recommendations for the most effective strategies to support adults (18 years and older) who anticipate or live with an ostomy. The purpose of this BPG is to (a) promote self-management, (b) enhance access and delivery of care, and (c) lead to positive health outcomes in adults who anticipate or live with an ostomy.
