Nurses on one unit have started a Journal Club with a 56% participation rate of staff nurses involved during the past 10 months
The organization's annual Research Day is coming up in 4 months and the organizers have asked the Journal Club members to be involved. Only one nurse is willing to represent the group and decides the most effective way to share the Club's vision and effectively represent the group is to ask each member to: A. Develop a PowerPoint slide depicting one of the articles the club has discussed and the representative will create a group poster presentation to be displayed at Re-search Day. B. Write an abstract of some researchable clinical problem that the representative will present to the Research Day commit-tee for funding possibilities. C. Prepare a two-page paper explaining why the Club will not participate in Research Day planning so that the representative can tell the committee their reasons for not wanting to be involved. D. Attend an extra Journal Club meeting so that the representative can have the Re-search Day committee members present their rationale for mandating that the Journal Club be involved.
