요약	The Care Dependency Scale (CDS) is a comprehensive assessment tool that measures the degree of care dependency in patients by evaluating their ability to perform activities of daily living and manage their health conditions independently. Developed by Atie Dijkstra and colleagues, the CDS focuses on physical independence and social engagement, providing a quantitative measure of nursing workload and care requirements. It is particularly useful in long-term care, rehabilitation, and geriatric settings.	Nursing-Sensitive Indicators are quality metrics that measure healthcare outcomes significantly influenced by nursing care. Developed by the American Nurses Association (ANA) and maintained through the National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI), these indicators assess hospital-acquired complications, staffing levels, nurse-sensitive outcomes, and other dimensions of care quality. They serve as benchmarking tools for evaluating nursing practice effectiveness and organizational performance.
