How can a CNL effectively support a nurse's innovative idea for patient care?

Discourage the idea if it requires too much effort
Ignore the proposal if it's unconventional
Encourage the nurse to develop and lead the initiative
Implement the idea without consultation

The correct answer is: Encourage the nurse to develop and lead the initiative

Supporting a nurse's innovative idea for patient care is essential for fostering a culture of innovation and improving healthcare outcomes. Encouraging the nurse to develop and lead the initiative empowers them, promoting ownership of the idea and increasing their engagement in the project. This approach also allows the clinical nurse leader to leverage the nurse's expertise and insights, ensuring that the proposed innovation is grounded in practical clinical experience. By encouraging the nurse, the clinical nurse leader can facilitate resources, support, and guidance, helping to refine the idea and ensure its feasibility and alignment with organizational goals. This collaborative effort not only enhances the potential success of the innovation but also reinforces team dynamics and professional development among nursing staff. Additionally, this support aligns with the CNL's role in advocating for evidence-based changes and improving patient care quality.
