A nurse has an order to complete a procedure on a patient. After reading the procedure, the nurse notices that it is not best practice and it has not been updated for 6 years. The nurse takes this issue to the nurse leader (charge nurse) and the nurse manager (unit manager).

What would you do as a nurse leader if your policy or procedure conflicts with the most recent evidence? Describe your response to this nurse.

Why is it important to update policies and procedures? What are the risks if they are outdated?

What is your role as a nurse leader in assuring policies or procedures are up to date?

Your discussion post should look like:
