The use and limitations of Phaneuf's Nursing Audit.
The use of Phaneuf's Nursing Audit in an action research project that is investigating quality assessment and peer review is discussed. A brief description of the project is given followed by an analysis of the audit tool. This analysis suggests that the tool has more disadvantages than advantages. The paper concludes with a discussion about why the tool may be of use despite the disadvantages identified.
