To determining if a new procedure is within the scope of nursing
practice, the nurse should atke a systematic approach., According to Anderson
(2013), First, define the issue, which means clarifying what exactly is being
asked and what the new procedure entails. This step also includes gathering any
additional information such as conducting a competency assessment to perform
the task, as well as any previous experience, current knowledge and skill.
Evidence-based practice and nursing research must also support the adoption of
any new procedure.

Secondly,
since evidence is not the only component, the Nurse Practice Act and the
policies of the workplace must also be considered. Nurses may be limited by the
facility policies/standards to perform certain tasks even though the tasks are
allowed by the BON (Anderson, 2013). Likewise, nurses may not be legally
permitted to perform certain tasks that are commonly performed in the facility.
These policies can vary within the same state and even within the same
facility.

The
final step, is decision making, if a procedure within the scope of nursing
practice. it must be supported by research or professional organizations. The
primary concern always be the patient care and based on improved patient
outcomes. To make the procedure outcomes effective training could be required.
When it is time to introduce the procedure, “you will need to be prepared to be
a leader” (Seagraves,2009)

Feedback
from the staff can reduce the possibility of resistance. So it is important to
share research findings with the staff.
