A, B, C, D
Advanced practice registered nurses can function as opinion leaders and facilitators. They have the ability to take on the most challenging steps in the process by leading a team, identifying po-tential roadblocks, facilitating problem solving during implementation and evaluation, reporting results, and providing expertise throughout the evidence-based practice process. Critique and synthesis of the evidence, development of an evaluation plan, and analysis of results are steps that utilize this expertise. Strong skills are needed for the facilitator to keep a team focused and moving forward. Increasing patient load does not contribute to a culture of evidence-based prac-tice.
