What does research utilization on an inpatient unit require?

a. A nursing theoretical framework should be followed.
b. Orem's theory of self-care requisites should be followed.
c. Only the nurses should participate in the implementation.
d. The implementation should be consistent with the nursing framework in the practice context.


D
Implementation of a new approach should follow a specific plan. It is also important that evalua-tion data be collected at the same time as the implementation to clearly determine the effect of the new approach. A major component of the research utilization process is reviewing completed nursing research studies that have been published in the literature. In contrast, conducting new research involves the collection of new data to answer a specific clinical practice question. Nursing research utilization is a step-by-step process incorporating critical thinking and deci-sion-making to ensure that a change in practice has a sound basis in nursing science. Using a nursing theoretical framework, such as Orem's, may assist in guiding nursing care delivery
