Domain 1 is the Knowledge Environment. As nurses, we are knowledge workers and use mission, vision, values, theory and clinical inquiry to inform and drive our practice. Applying a knowledge structure facilitates a professional level of practice characterized by evidence-based decisions. This domain outlines where we want to go as an organization and what beliefs, concepts and theories help support patient care and optimal outcomes.
