Sarah, RN, is one of your most enthusiastic staff members and has been to a workshop on preparing educational materials for patients
On the basis of this workshop, she would like to develop an information Website for patients who are being admitted to the ward. An appropriate response to Sarah's suggestion would be: a. "That is a great suggestion, but we have no resources for such an expensive under-taking right now."
b. "Perhaps you can keep that in mind as we redesign our charting system."
c. "We have too many seniors as patients, and you know that they don't use tech-nology."
d. "There is a great group here that meets to look at technology pilots. Let's see if you can join them and discuss your idea fur-ther."
D
Involving Sarah with others who enjoy new ideas and who are able to try out new ideas in pilot projects enables her to remain on the cutting edge and to try out innovative solutions with the least amount of disruption.
