This would help integrate the caring aspects of nursing with the more objective aspects of evidence-based practice.
3) Discuss methods and specific plan to revise an unsuccessful project solution
If the project is unsuccessful, it could be because of insufficient opportunities for application. It may be better to implement the proposed solution in specific departments in which a large number of preventable errors had been tabulated. In this way, more dramatic changes to nursing practice might have been observed. It might also be helpful to survey the various departments in the healthcare institution and discover the specific areas of concern. Then, researchers can target these areas and encourage mentors to coach nurses on evidence-based practice. For example, if catheters are not being removed within the proper amount of time, then the research would focus on increasing nurse awareness of evidence showing proper catheter care.
4) Discuss methods and specific plans to terminate an unsuccessful solution
Termination of the solution would not be called for, given the importance of evidence-based practice as outlined in the literature. Therefore, it is crucial to keep in...
Effective leadership will create a culture in which nurses are unafraid to ask questions, rather than make mistakes. Evidence-based practice does not depend on always needing access to a computer terminal. Nurse leaders need to take responsibility for the proper oversight due to their nursing staff.
5) Describe specific feedback in the work-setting and for communicating the project and its results as expected of a formal project proposal.
Communication is an important part of leadership, which is why this project is important beyond the scope of evidence-based practice. Feedback is an essential part of building trust within the organization, too. The project is one that all nurses can take a part in, to empower them and help them improve their professional skills. The research ultimately is designed to improve the overall status of nurses within the organization, increase trust, and improve communication. Plus, the importance of evidence-based practice should become common knowledge for all nursing staff. This research hopes to help nurses reduce errors, become more effective caretakers, and also help the institution cut costs.
