As a new manager, you are shocked to learn that your unit is still using heparin in heparin locks. You are aware of evidence related to this practice and want to change this practice as quickly as possible on your unit. You are in which stage of Lewin's stages of change?
Refreezing
Moving
Unfreezing
Experiencing the change
The Correct Answer is C
A. Refreezing is the stage where changes are solidified and new behaviors are established after the change has been implemented. This is not the current stage since you are still in the process of identifying the need for change.
B. Moving involves the actual implementation of the change, but you have not yet begun this phase; you're still recognizing the need for change.
C. Unfreezing is characterized by recognizing the need for change and creating awareness about it. Since you are shocked by the outdated practice and want to initiate change, you are in this stage as you prepare for the transition.
D. Experiencing the change is not one of Lewin's stages and does not accurately describe your current situation of acknowledging the need for change.
