The director of nursing at a university-based hospital is interested in assisting the nursing staff to comply with American Nurses Association (ANA) nursing research standards
Which does the director plan to establish in order to comply with the ANA standards?
A) A nursing practice council to develop a quality improvement program.
B) A nursing practice council to determine nursing performance reviews.
C) A nursing practice council to examine current practice.
D) A nursing practice council for determining nursing educational needs.
Answer: C
A nursing practice council compares current practice against nursing research to determine the best evidence-based practice for the hospital as suggested by ANA standards. A peer-review committee establishes standards to determine the performance of staff. A council to determine educational needs fits in with the quality improvement. It would review errors reported and suggest educational programs as well as ask the staff for their educational preferences. A quality improvement program monitors client care based on outcomes and also investigates errors and makes suggestions for prevention.
