Medical research can help professionals to better understand and more competently deliver care and inform patients, and therefore, improving patient care. Patient Teaching is a necessary part of nursing, research and the outcomes it provides is the best way to keep nurses informed on subjects that directly affect them and their patients.

    We do a disservice to our own profession by not using evidence based practices. I believe that in nursing school we do learn collaboration with others but we lack coaching. I have often heard nurses tell me that they never truly learned anything about being a nurse until their preceptorship as a nurse in the units. In clinical they know the didactic but not how to apply to the situation. When a nurse graduates he or she should be able to interpret, understand and apply best practices and use evidence based practices.…

    When nurses use evidence-based practice when caring for a patient, it allows the patient to receive the best quality care that they need. Every procedure that a nurse does should be based off evidence-based practice. At the facility that I am currently working at, it is easy to find resources about evidence based practice. However, one thing that obstructs the facility ability to implement evidence-based practice is that the facility has two educators that work with our department but they are both per diem and are not there often. The education department at the facility that I work tends to forget the emergency room because we do have the two educators.…

    Patient teaching is a dynamic interaction between the nurse (teacher) and the patient (learner). Both the teacher and the learner communicate information, emotions, perceptions, and attitudes to the other.
