Evidence 1	According to a study by Olley et al. (2019), the number of patients that a nurse cares for determines the level of patient safety, and this influences patients’ outcomes. Thus, increasing staffing levels have benefits for the patients and the nurses.
Evidence 2	Nurse to patient ratios influence patient outcomes and according to Driscoll et al. (2018), better staffing levels improves patient outcomes. Increasing nurses in hospitals is likely to reduce hospital mortality.
Similar legislation	California has implemented a state-wide mandatory nurse-to-patient ratios. It was the first state to implement this law. Improved ratios in California have been associated with lower mortality, lower nurse burnout, and better nurse retention
