A nurse-run committee is interested in developing EBP regarding a common patient situation for which a policy does not exist. When devising a plan for this development the committee would identify which last step of the process?
 
  1. Writing the policy into a workable plan for practice
  2. Obtaining resources to operationalize the change
  3. Evaluating the new policy's effectiveness
  4. Educating staff in regard to implementation of the policy

Question 2

Why is it important to review the state nurse practice act when developing EBP?
 
  1. The state board of nursing must approve the plan for development before it can proceed.
  2. The state nurse practice act may limit the amount of nursing research that can be undertaken by practicing nurses.
  3. There may be scope of practice limitations that must be considered.
  4. Nursing research is often funded by the state board of nursing.

Answer to Question 1

Rationale 1: Writing the policy into a workable plan for practice occurs midway through development and implementation.
Rationale 2: The committee should consider resource allocation much earlier in the development process.
Rationale 3: Evaluation is the last step of every nursing intervention. The committee should plan for an evaluative process which may require revision of the policy.
Rationale 4: Educating staff must occur before implementation. It is not the final step of the process.
