A nurse-run committee is interested in developing EBP regarding a common patient situation for which a policy does not exist. When devising a plan for this development the committee would identify which last step of the process?
1. Writing the policy into a workable plan for practice
2. Obtaining resources to operationalize the change
3. Evaluating the new policy's effectiveness
4. Educating staff in regard to implementation of the policy
3
Rationale 1: Writing the policy into a workable plan for practice occurs midway through development and implementation.
Rationale 2: The committee should consider resource allocation much earlier in the development process.
Rationale 3: Evaluation is the last step of every nursing intervention. The committee should plan for an evaluative process which may require revision of the policy.
Rationale 4: Educating staff must occur before implementation. It is not the final step of the process.
