School nurses require evidence-based guidelines for special health needs care. A new model standardizes the creation of these clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) to improve student health outcomes.
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Healthcare Quality
- Evidence-Based Practice
Background:
- School nurses require robust clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) to effectively manage students with special health-care needs.
- A significant gap exists in the availability of rigorous CPGs specifically for school nursing practice.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce a standardized framework, the Model for Developing Evidence-based Clinical Practice Guidelines for School Nursing (School Nursing CPG Model).
- To facilitate the systematic creation of high-quality, evidence-based CPGs for school nursing.
Main Methods:
- Development of the School Nursing CPG Model under the National Association of School Nurses.
- Involvement of school nurse scholars, leaders, and pediatric clinical experts in the model's design.
Main Results:
- The School Nursing CPG Model provides a standardized structure and systematic process for CPG development.
- A repository of rigorous, evidence-based CPGs for school nursing is projected to be built using this model.
Conclusions:
- The School Nursing CPG Model is expected to enhance the quality of school nursing practice.
- Implementation of the model aims to improve health and educational outcomes for students with special health-care needs.
- The model has potential applicability for developing CPGs in other nursing specialties.

The Scientific Method in Nursing Process
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be...
Guidelines for Nursing Documentation I
Factual:
The following points emphasize the significance of upholding accurate and unbiased documentation in healthcare.
Guidelines for Nursing Documentation II
Timely documentation is crucial to ensure continuity of care for patients. Any delays in recording or reporting medical information can result in medical errors and even adverse patient outcomes. From medication administration to diagnostic test results, every detail must be accurately and promptly documented to provide the best possible care for patients.
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...
