Question 1 of 5
As a nurse manager, you initiate a pilot study that tests a new pain scale to be used on your unit. You compare the patient outcomes with the previously used scale. Feedback from staff suggests that the new scale is too difficult for non-English speaking patients. The difficulty in implementing the new scale refers to testing:
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: Effectiveness. In this scenario, the difficulty in implementing the new pain scale for non-English speaking patients pertains to the effectiveness of the new scale. Effectiveness refers to the extent to which an intervention achieves the desired outcomes in real-world settings. The feedback from staff indicates that the new scale is not effective in improving patient outcomes for non-English speaking patients due to its difficulty.
A: Practice failure does not accurately describe the situation as it implies a failure in the application of a known practice, rather than the effectiveness of a new intervention.
B: Efficacy refers to how well an intervention works in ideal conditions, not necessarily in real-world settings like this scenario.
C: Comparative error is not relevant here as there is no comparison being made between two different interventions.
Therefore, the correct answer is D because it directly addresses the issue of the new pain scale's effectiveness in improving patient outcomes for non-English speaking patients.
