After the group has chosen the topic and evaluated the literature for approaches that seem feasible,specific interventions are chosen.The quality of the evidence must be assessed before recommending specific changes or writing a protocol to resolve the problem.Grading the strength of evidence or determining the quality,quantity,and consistency of research studies must be done before making recommendations for practice.Deciding how to orient staff and the community to the change would occur at the end of the process after the findings have been summarized and written recommendations or protocols have been developed.Elimination of nursing interventions that are not evidence based would be part of the written recommendations and proposal that happen at the end of the process.The nurse should not plan another literature search or topic to explore until after completing the process with the current issue.
