It is important to verify the credibility of all of the resources using the CRAAP test. Currency, relevancy, authority, accuracy, and purpose are important to note when choosing supportive research (Esparrago-Kalidas, 2021). The new nurse can use the CRAAP test when using the hospital library, scholarly journals, and hospital policy and guideline manuals. The nurse should be taught to look at articles or publications that are from within the last 5 years and that are written by healthcare professionals. Educating her on websites that end in .gov, .edu, or .org and how they are all educational and usually unbiased is a good way to introduce her to some medical research. The hospital also has policies in place for situations that require a structured method of approaching patient care. Labor and delivery departments will usually have a preset order of operations for their preeclamptic patients, so the new nurse should familiarize herself with those protocols.
