Evidence-based practice can be defined as decisions that are made based off of previous knowledge and research. The combination of clinical expertise and evidence gained through clinical research results in the method of evidence-based practice (Atkins, Fink & Slutsky 2005).…
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is an interdisciplinary approach to clinical practice that has been gaining ground following its formal introduction in 1992. It started in medicine as evidence-based medicine (EBM) and spread to other fields such as dentistry, nursing, psychology, education, library and information science and other fields. Its basic principles are that all practical decisions made should 1) be based on research studies and 2) that these research studies are selected and interpreted according to some specific norms characteristic for EBP. Typically such norms disregard theoretical and qualitative studies and consider quantitative studies according to a narrow set of criteria of what counts as evidence. If such a narrow set of…
Nursing research is used everyday in nursing thru evidence-based practice. Evidence-based practice is used to make clinical decisions by using the best possible evidence garnered through liable sources( Attree,M. 2007). An Rn is always learning with thru textbooks,continuing education, and policy. This research allows the Rn to integrate evidence-based practice into their patient care. It is important that the Rn stays update on research so that she is giving the best possible care to her patients. For example most nurses think it is important to put a patient in trendelenburg for hypotension, but is proving in new research shows that there is no improvement in blood pressure with this use. This is an example of new research and improving patient…

The field of nursing is always improving and evolving. It is progressively moving forward as new information and research fuel our ability to provide proper patient care. In fact, I have seen the field change and develop in more ways than I can shake a stick.

Role modeling and participating in the skills are necessary to develop evidence-based practice into clinical and nonclinical courses and also an important part in developing positive attitudes toward evidence-based practice, that’s the first step for using evidence to guide practice decisions (Winters).

The definition of Evidence Based Practice (EBP) is “professional understanding and action that is based on the thoughtful use of knowledge and information from available, reliable, and dependent sources” (Brown, 2002). The definition also includes the balance of clinical experience, proven evidence from scientific studies with patient input. This input from patients will incorporate their culture, values and other preferences.. Evidence Based Practice is a fluent process that requires nurses to be current and correct on information as it pertains to their daily practice. The intent of EBP is to improve the quality of the care that is delivered to the client. This increased knowledge, whether it is correct or incorrect, is a motivating factor for nursing professionals to have current and correct information available when working with clients in making healthcare decisions. Healthcare professionals, especially nurses, are the touch point of health care and are the key to cost effective quality care. To ensure that decisions are based on sound information nurses must utilize EBR.…
