Discussion Question:
Look at the policy and procedure book in your unit, department, or organization. Select a policy or procedure and determine the type of evidence used as evidence to create the policy/procedure. Use the pyramid of evidence discussed in Chapter 11 to examine the types of evidence that supports the policy/procedure.
Then, address these questions in your initial posting: What is the policy/procedure you selected? Why did you select this policy/procedure for review? Is the evidence supporting the policy/procedure appropriate? Can you tell how the evidence was evaluated? Why is it important for nurses to know the type of evidence used to create a policy/procedure?
