The nurses have been instructed on the use of an evidence-based practice method to monitor patients; however, several nurses continue to conduct patient monitoring using the previous method
Which of the following can be done to increase the use of the evidence-based practice method? 1. Review the evidence-based material again with those nurses who are not using the new method.
2. Assign the nurses not using the new method to participate in gathering data for a research study.
3. Ask the nurse manager to review the performance expectations.
4. Determine that either method would be appropriate for the nurses to use.
Review the evidence-based material again with those nurses who are not using the new method.
Rationale: Strategies to promote the use of evidence-based practice include continuing education and inservice programs to teach the nurses about the practice. The material should be reviewed again with those nurses who are not using the new method. The nurses should not be assigned to participate in data gathering for a research study, nor should the nurse manager be asked to counsel the nurses on performance expectations. Determining that either method would be appropriate to use would not be in support of the evidence-based practice approach and should not be used.
