Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rogers' first step in making a change is the awareness stage, where the individual gathers information about the innovation. Therefore, the nurse manager sharing information about the new IV pump with the staff is the first step in the process. Option A is incorrect because it suggests that the decision is solely up to the nursing staff, while the change management process involves different stakeholders. Option B is incorrect because a 3-month test run is part of the trial stage, which comes after the awareness stage. Option C is incorrect because the nurse manager's personal opinion is not relevant in the first step of the change process.
