A nurse is reviewing an updated facility policy regarding the prevention of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). What action should the nurse take to best integrate this resource into client care?
Notify health care providers about the policy update without changing client care practices.
Implement the updated policy while delivering client care to align with evidence-based practices.
Continue following current practices until issues with client outcomes are identified.
Seek clarification from the nurse manager regarding the updated policy before making changes.
Applying the updated policy while caring for clients ensures current, evidence-based practices, which are essential for preventing HAIs and promoting client safety. Informing the health care team or consulting leadership may help spread awareness or clarify doubts but does not directly utilize the resource in care delivery. Ignoring updated policies jeopardizes patient health and safety.
