Assignment Week 3 – NURS 6052
Is there a difference between “common practice” and “best
practice”?
When you first went to work for your current organization,
experienced colleagues may have shared with you details about
processes and procedures. Perhaps you even attended an
orientation session to brief you on these matters. As a “rookie,” you
likely kept the nature of your questions to those with answers that
would best help you perform your new role.
Over time and with experience, perhaps you recognized aspects
of these processes and procedures that you wanted to question
further. This is the realm of clinical inquiry.
Clinical inquiry is the practice of asking questions about clinical
practice. To continuously improve patient care, all nurses should
consistently use clinical inquiry to question why they are doing
something the way they are doing it. Do they know why it is done
this way, or is it just because we have always done it this way? Is it
a common practice or a best practice?
In this Assignment, you will identify clinical areas of interest and
inquiry and practice searching for research in support of
maintaining or changing these practices. You will also analyze this
research to compare research methodologies employed
