Chamberlain College of NursingNR439 PPE WorksheetName: Jessica SterlingDate: May 15, 2023Problem/PICOT/Evidence Search (PPE) Worksheet (Based on Wk. 2 Check-In PICOT)CriteriaThe safety clinical priority I chose was communication. I chose communication as the safetyclinical priority due to the fact that patient care can only be provided safely and accuratelywith appropriate communication amongst members of the healthcare team. An example ofthis communication would be nurse to nurse handoff reports/SBAR. Thorough handoff re-ports ensure the patient’s plan of care is being followed accurately between nursing shifts,and that there are no errors or unnecessary delays in treatment. Communication includes notonly nurse to nurse report, but also communication with providers, aids, therapies, admin, etc.Utilizing handoff sheets, or organized report forms are an excellent way to ensure all vital in-formation is passed on during shift report.Clinical Nursing PracticeProblemSelect and identifyONLYonequalityorsafety clini-cal priority area from the as-signment guidelines practicescenario.
