Abstract:
Neonatal nurses often draw upon prior experiences and intuition to feed neonates. Such experience and skill vary from nurse to nurse and may not be based on recent research, nor tailored to each neonate's feeding skill. An evidence-based neonatal oral feeding guideline was produced to improve oral feeding practices among nurses and parents. The implementation was initially less than ideal, resulting in poor compliance. A bedside reference poster was designed to serve as a visual succinct reminder of the oral feeding guideline.

Guidelines for Writing Outcome
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care evaluation by...
