title: Bedside caregivers as change agents: implementation of early enteral nutrition in critical care.
abstract: Enteral nutrition is an important aspect of caring for critically ill patients, yet delays in implementation of guidelines and recommendations occur. Bedside caregivers are in a key position to evaluate current practice and lead change to implement evidence-based practice guidelines. Interdisciplinary teams can use change models, such as Larrabee's, to provide guidance and support success of practice change projects.
