The nurse manager's expected outcome is to increase evidence-based practice on the nursing unit. To meet this outcome, the manager encourages nurses to base their practice on which technique?
 
  1. Intuition
  2. Personal clinical experience
  3. Knowledge from nursing school
  4. Current research

Question 2

Using the classical organizational theory model, the most appropriate method for the nurse to voice concern over unfair client workload assignments would be to:
 
  1. Invite the director of nursing to a unit meeting.
  2. Organize a unit meeting to discuss the problem on all shifts.
  3. Discuss the problem with the team leader and then the charge nurse/unit supervisor if the problem
  remains unsolved.
  4. Circulate a petition to all staff seeking support for change in assignment policy.

Answer to Question 1

Rationale 1: Intuition is not based in research and is not evidence based.
Rationale 2: Clinical experience is useful when integrated with evidence-based practice but is not considered evidence based when used alone.
Rationale 3: Knowledge from nursing school is very useful in client care but can become outdated if the nurse does not continually update that knowledge.
Rationale 4: Current research is a good source of evidence-based practice strategies.

Answer to Question 2

inherent in classical theory.
