This Is The Questionyou Have Been Asked To Investigate A New Procedur This is the question: You have been asked to investigate a new procedure that physicians would like nurses to adopt in the hospital. Discuss the process you would apply to determine whether the procedure falls within the RN scope of practice and how you would go about introducing the new procedure with physicians and fellow nurses. Please use this Grading Rubric and Sample Table for this DQ Class this question assumes you are the nurse manager and is a how you would evaluate and implement a standard practice or standing order into your unit. Complete all of the learning activities, critically think and post your reply. Here is a link to " An Explanation of the Scope of RN Practice Including Standardized Procedures" from the CA BON, your state BON site likely has something similar, but this gives a general idea of procedures one might follow.

Paper For Above instruction Implementing new procedures within a hospital setting requires a thorough understanding of the Registered Nurse (RN) scope of practice and a strategic approach to introduce changes effectively among physicians and nursing staff. As a nurse manager, the process begins with a comprehensive review of the procedure concerning the Nurse Practice Act (NPA) and the guidelines provided by the state's Board of Nursing (BON). According to the California Board of Nursing, standardized procedures are protocols that allow RNs to perform specific interventions under certain conditions, if they are within the scope of practice and supported by appropriate training and institutional policies (California BON, n.d.). The first step in assessing whether the new procedure falls within the RN scope involves a detailed analysis of the procedure's components aligned with state regulations and institutional standards. This includes evaluating the protocol's clinical appropriateness, the required competencies, and whether it is supported by current evidence. The Nurse Practice Act offers legal boundaries, delineating what registered nurses are permitted to perform, and is essential in this evaluation (Woolley & Williams, 2020). Additionally, institutional policies and standards of care must be reviewed to ensure consistency with organizational expectations and resources for staff training. After establishing that the procedure aligns with legal and institutional standards, the next phase involves staff training and competency assessments. This step ensures that nurses receive appropriate education and demonstrate proficiency before independently performing the procedure. This aligns with the standards in the CA BON regarding the need for documented competency and ongoing evaluation (California BON,
