Question

You are the newly hired nurse manager on your unit with extensive knowledge of evidence-based practice (EBP). You have discovered that the currently used patient care (and/or treatment) from the Case Study above is not supported by EBP and has only minimal to negative results. You want to include EBP in the care of this patient and improve treatment outcome. What initial steps do you need to take? Who would you need to contact first to make this change? How would you engage your peers? Once approved, how do you implement this new protocol? Which DCN Graduate Competency role (or roles) are you demonstrating, and why? (Example: patient advocate, caregiver, educator, change agent, leader). (See the DCN Catalog, pp.11-12, Figure 1, for further details).
