The nurse is concluding actions taken when using evidence-based practice approaches to plan a patient's care. What should the nurse do to ensure that the planned care is of the highest quality?
1. Incorporate patient preferences and values
2. Transcribe the plan of care into the Kardex
3. Ask the manager to review the final plan of care
4. Discuss the plan of care with the healthcare provider
Correct Answer: 1
Incorporating patient preferences and values provides individualization and is the benchmark for quality nursing care. Transcribing the plan of care or asking the manager or healthcare provider to review the plan of care does not ensure that the planned care is of the highest quality.
