Indwelling catheter challenge

Other Titles

Evidence-based practice in the clinical setting

Abstract

A study done in a New Zealand hospital identified nurses' (n=14) baseline knowledge of evidence-based indwelling catheter management using a 25-item pre- and post-test. Sixty-four percent received scores below 70%. An education intervention significantly improved (p < .05) nurses' post-test scores. This interactive session challenges nurses to take the test.
