The nurse manager will most likely choose "Identification of Clinical Problem" as the
problem-focused trigger. The Iowa Model identifies several problem-focused triggers, including risk
management data, process improvement data, internal/external benchmarking data, financial data, and
identification of clinical problem. According to the Iowa Model, philosophies of care, standards and
guidelines, national agency or organizational standards and guidelines would be considered
"knowledge-focused triggers.".
