What Are Nursing-Sensitive Patient Indicators/ Outcomes (NSPOs)?

Answer the following questions:

1. What are nursing-sensitive patient indicators/ outcomes (NSPOs) and what do they confirm?

2. Case Study:

After reading a research article about the way nurses suction patients, you decide to perform a literature search on the topic to see whether other studies reinforce the practice. You identify two other research studies that also support the practice change. Armed with the evidence, you create a new practice guideline that describes the new suctioning techniques and present it to your unit director. After taking the guideline through various committees, it is adopted and a new policy is created. You feel empowered and confident that this new practice will have a positive impact on patient care outcomes. During the next few weeks, you are confused and discouraged, noting that the nurses are slow in adopting your fabulous new guideline.

a. Why might you be meeting resistance from nurses?

b. What steps could be taken to encourage the nurses to adopt the practice change?

c. What steps would you take to evaluate the implementation of the protocol?

3. Choose one of your peer's projects and briefly describe how they would evaluate if their suggested implementation strategies/ suggestions for practice were effective.

The answers to the questions may be brief but should be fully developed and answered with insight and reflection.
