4. Have we looked at all available data in order to make an informed decision?
5. I know nursing personnel will work diligently in understanding the need for change.
6. I think it does not really matter when we institute this change, as long as it is over quickly.
1, 3, 4, 5
Explanation: 1. Each option involves a separate step of the change process. Questions about obstacles,
stakeholder opinions, and working to understand are correct because they appropriately use
the steps towards assessing and planning the change while showing support for it and those
involved. Focusing on completion and getting it completed quickly incorrectly show the
evaluation and implementation phases because evaluation continues long after the change is
completed and implementation timing is extremely important.
