A healthcare facility has made use of EBP part of their mission. The vice-president in charge of nursing is meeting with nurse managers to discuss ways to offer EBP training for nurses. Which statement reflects best understanding of how to accomplish this task?
1. We will ask nurses to come into work 30 minutes early once a week for a short educational presentation. This process may take several weeks to complete.
2. Nurses will be assigned to an education day on a rotating basis. This day will be during the nurse's regular work schedule and coverage will be provided for their patient care assignment.
3. Ask the nurses to plan on staying 30 minutes after their shifts are completed so that we can start the education process. I think it will take about a week to complete the process.
4. A presentation will be produced and placed on the hospital intranet. Have nurses plan on watching this and reviewing the written information provided when they have a few minutes during the day. It will also be available for review from home.
