Which statement would indicate a unit nursing staff is entering the preutilization step of research utilization?
a. "We've found two studies that have ex-plored methods for reducing violent beha-vior on psych units.".
b. "We need a new approach to containing violence on the psych unit.".
c. "This is the plan for implementing the new antiviolence strategies.".
d. "This is a summary of the evaluation data we collected.".
B
The first step in using research in nursing practice is the recognition that some aspect of nursing practice could be done in a more efficient, a more beneficial, or simply a different way, so want-ing a new approach to containing violence on a psych unit would be an example. Identifying stu-dies about methods for reducing violent behavior would be step 2—assessing. Planning to im-plement new antiviolence strategies would be step 3 of the process. A summary of evaluation data would be included in the final step (step 5) of the process.
