"CRITICAL QUESTIONSThere are several questions that must be addressed before an activity is recog-nized as a best practice. Three frequently asked questions include:
o Who determines that an activity is a best practice?
o How do you properly evaluate what you think is best practice to validate that in fact it is a true best practice?
o How do you get executives to recognize that best practices are true value-added activities and should be championed by executive management?"
The response must include a reference list. Using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, double-space, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
