Asking for the rationale behind the new policy is an important step in practicing healthy skepticism. It shows that the nurse is interested in understanding the reasoning behind the policy before accepting or rejecting it. This can help to identify any potential risks or benefits and ensure that the policy is evidence-based and in the best interests of the patients. Verbally attacking the policy or disregarding it without seeking further information may not be helpful in determining its validity. Complying but continuing to complain about it may not address any underlying concerns or issues with the policy.
