Question

1. This is a very good method of disseminating the findings to a national forum, but takes time and would not be the best plan for these nurses.
2. This is a good forum for dissemination of findings, but locating a conference that is local and will be held quickly is difficult. The planner of such a conference generally chooses the poster presentations through a selection process that takes time and is held several weeks prior to the date of the conference.
3. This is the best way for these results to be disseminated. This event could be co-sponsored by the hospital and any nursing programs in the area. These events do take planning, but are not as planning intensive as national events.
4. When practice journals describe research findings, it is generally done as part of a secondary article. While some staff nurses are more likely to read about findings in a practice journal, the entire study would not be published. Also, having an article accepted for inclusion in a journal is a time consuming process.
