Introduction to the PDA Guide
This pocket guide was designed to support the RNAO Clinical Best Practice Guideline Integrating Smoking Cessation into Daily Nursing Practice, available for free download or purchase at www.rnao.org/bestpractices, and at the new smoking cessation website www.tobaccofreernao.ca.
This resource will allow nurses to keep important tools for promoting smoking cessation close-at-hand, and nurses are encouraged to refer to the guideline for more complete and detailed information.
With global efforts to reduce tobacco use and exposure to second-hand smoke, it is important that all nurses be motivated and supported to identify the smoking status of their clients, and encouraged to intervene with persons who smoke in a sensitive, non-judgmental manner about the importance of cessation.
