An organization that facilitates research use would be characterized by:
a. a management style that supports nurses.
b. committed use of acceptable nursing policies and practices.
c. reluctance to change.
d. support for new ideas and innovations.
ANS: D
Organizations with management styles and communication patterns that encourage innovation and change are more likely to embrace and encourage research use in practice.
Support of the nursing staff would not in and of itself be enough to facilitate research use unless nurses put it as a top priority.
Traditional nursing policies and practices may not facilitate current research use, and a desire for "acceptable ones" is not enough to facilitate research use.
Successful research use requires a willingness to change.
