20 Mar Evidence-Based Practice Application

Nurses must be able to evaluate sources of data and define a process for evaluating the development of evidence-based practices (EBP). In addition, they must then be able to apply research to a clinical setting. Think about a clinical question in your current practice, or in an area of nursing practice in which you see yourself in the future. What are the most relevant evidence-based practice considerations to help address that question?

For this assessment, choose an evidence-based practice that employs a specific health or patient care technology. You may use the following, too, if they are helpful to complete your research.

Database Guide: CINAHL Complete.
AHRQ Fact Sheets.
Note: The main bullet points below correspond to the grading criteria in the Evidence-Based Practice Application Scoring Guide, so be sure to address each point.
