Abstract
The best policies are evidence-based, providing feasible solutions to healthcare issues to prevent unintended consequences. Nurse researchers need to generate evidence with which to create policy. The obligation to monitor the impact of policies and standards rests on nurse leaders who have the duty to advocate when policies fail. Nurses providing direct care are beholden to report failed policies. Advocacy in the situation of a failed policy often requires moral courage to prevent moral distress amongst the ranks of nurses who enact policies at the intersect of care. In this article, the impact of three healthcare policy issues on nursing end-users will be evaluated: aid in dying, titration of vasoactive medications, and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services 30-minute rule.
