Developing nursing protocols involves a collaborative approach:
1. Research and Evidence: Protocols are based on the latest research and evidence-based practices. 2. Expert Input: They are often developed with input from experienced nurses, physicians, and other healthcare professionals. 3. Review and Approval: Protocols are typically reviewed and approved by a committee or board to ensure they meet the necessary standards. 4. Pilot Testing: Before full implementation, protocols are often tested in a controlled setting to identify any issues or areas for improvement.
