"Choosing Wisely" Initiative
"As part of the initiative, the American Academy of Nursing has created a list of 15 things that nurses and patients should question. These items of concern help people choose care that is:
- Supported by evidence
- Not duplicative of other tests or procedures already received
- Free from harm
- Truly necessary
On the list, four of the items address routine care in labor and birth that can be harmful and should be questioned."
