Answer 2 for HCA 699 Which method do you think is most effective to get to the staff nurse level?

According to Arkansas State University (2018), “One of the key principles in medicine today is evidence-based practice in nursing (EBP). This is the practice of medicine based on solid research, and it adheres to standards for high quality and safety, all while focusing on patients’ needs.” EBP Projects would be the most effective the reason why I say this is EBP Projects are more preventative than it is trying to predict the future. EBP Projects take into consideration the fact that patients are better off using evidence-based research to help the patients understand and recover. EBP takes into consideration infection control because the last thing a patient wants to do is come into a hospital and get an infection because of something the hospital failed to do. These things help get nurses to the next level by preparing them to be able to do the proper research and becoming better problem solvers versus being reactive they become more proactive(Arkansas State University, 2018). The best way to make that all appropriate audiences receive the correct information is by making it available to everyone who needs it. This information can be available via the web and also in the office by brochures. Most patients have access to a variety of electronic manuals and ways to view the information now because almost everyone owns either a cell phone or a computer now. With the access to Google most patients have access to more information now than they have ever had. This is important because information is the key and information is can help keep patients updated on new information that otherwise they may not have had accessed to. This is a process that will continue to improve over the years as healthcare continues to improve and technology continues to improve. Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt (2019) states “If an individual with in-depth knowledge of EBP and research is not available within the organization, establishing a partnership with an academic institution can help to facilitate the development of a program.
