    Author: Heinzer MM, Bish C, Detwiler R.
    Journal: J Nurses Staff Dev; 2007; 23(6):293-7. PubMed ID: 18043339.
    Abstract:
    Registered nurses on a medical unit questioned whether current practice adequately met the emotional needs of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease hospitalized for acute dyspnea. The unit's education committee surveyed nursing staff regarding priority nursing activities during dyspneic episodes. After discussion with staff development educators, several registered nurses met with the center's nurse researcher, formed a research team, and designed a descriptive study. Findings of the study gave evidence for clinical practice change and revision of care guidelines.
