Which of the following is not part of the PDSA change model?

  1. Plan

  2. Assess

  3. Do

  4. Study

The correct answer is: Assess

In the context of the PDSA (Plan-Do-Study-Act) change model, the phases consist of planning the change, implementing the change, studying the results, and then taking action based on what was learned. The "Assess" option does not exist in the PDSA model, making it the correct choice for what is not part of the process. The "Plan" phase involves identifying an opportunity and planning for change; "Do" refers to implementing the change on a small scale; and "Study" is the phase where data is analyzed to understand the effects of the change and to learn from the outcomes. Understanding these phases is crucial for maintaining and improving quality in clinical nursing practice.
