Conducting a computer search on a clinical guidelines website is the best option as it is likely to provide the most current and evidence-based clinical guidelines. Accessing a nursing literature database or searching through a nursing procedure textbook may also be helpful, but they may not provide the most up-to-date information on clinical guidelines. Telephone a clinical guidelines company for assistance may be an option, but it is unlikely to be necessary if there are already online resources available.
