This Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) Project explains the process for nurses involvement in direct practice by the use of evidences. The identification of the best EBP is in the field of clinical problem solving strategy on authority, custom, or ritual practices to change with some modifications for exceeding results. This writer has chosen the topic for an example to understand the mechanism of utilizing evidence to change the current practice for better outcomes that is on Float Project.

An example of this could be, for example, reminding an employee of their work deadlines or ensuring they are aware of an ideal time frame for work completion.…
Evidence-Based Practice D1. My Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) project centered around aspiration during IM injections. Current practice varies between institutions and between healthcare professionals Aspiration has long been taught in the nursing profession as the golden rule and many nurses and medical assistants continue to perform this way. However, there are other practices who state that this is no longer the preferred method with some injection site exceptions. This discrepancy in procedure means that the need for further research and education is necessary.…
As you stated the advanced practice nurse (APN) must center care on evidence based practice. Implementation of best practices consists of the APN assessing and planning care based on best practices and with the knowledge of cultural values and beliefs. The understanding and use of evidence based practice is considered a core competency of the APN and further defines the professional role (Butler, 2011). Development of this competency promotes positive patient outcomes. While evidence based practice has proven to produce improved patient outcomes, reduced health care cost and improved clinical patient satisfaction, it is calculated its use is 55% (Vincent, Hastings-Tolsma, Gephart & Alfonzo, 2015).…
President Barack Obama once shed light on the minimum wage issue during his last State of the Union Address. Being slightly enraged, he urged the Congress to raise the minimum wage, saying that “If you believe you can support your family at current minimum wage, try it; otherwise, please vote for increasing the minimum wage.” Additionally, last couple years have witnessed public’s strong movements for the raise of the minimum wage.

Crime rates had continued to vary over time, reaching a peak, however, during the twentieth century, between the 1970s and 1990s. Over the most recent decades, crime rate have continuously declined and continue to do so today. If this holds true, then why is it exactly that we as a nation continue to invest billions of dollars into the criminal justice system each year to only have the prison population continue to grow? A major reasoning for this increase in the prison population growth has come from the get tough policies and harsher prison sentences that have been enforced in result of President Nixon declaring a “War on Drugs” in June of 1971.…
Evidence based practice is the combination of current based evidence and clinical expertise and patient values to guide health care practices (LoBiondo-Wood & Haber 2014). The goal of evidence based practice is to integrate these different perspectives to provide high quality patient care reflecting the best interests, values, and needs of the patients we are caring for. The incorporation of evidence based practice has been rising and the prevalence of new information that we are learning from research is allowing us to provide more efficient care each day. The purpose of this discussion board is to explore a situation in my current workplace where evidence based practice has been applied. One of my co-workers decided to partake in an evidence…
Instead, Flyvbjerg states case studies are valid and valuable through all process of research and theory building development. A case studies’ validity towards the research process is dependent on specific selective cases. Now, Flyvbjerg states that a strategic selection produces a larger in-depth quantity of information. This strategic selection encompasses many factors which include random selection, information-oriented selection, critical cases, and paradigmatic selections. The goal of these strategies would allow for the generalizability of case studies to increase and therefore reduce the misunderstanding that surrounds the purpose and reclaims its value in both hypothesis and theory building and other potential research…

The answer to that question varies among the experts and practitioners but the terms clinical judgment, reasoning, and decision making have been used interchangeably in attempt to better articulate the process of clinical decision making (CRNBC, 2014).…
Decision making tools are a vital aspect of the business industry. Such tools and processes afford managers in the healthcare industry and other business entities the opportunity to systematically evaluate a problem, find a solution, and evaluate the effectiveness of the end result. The purpose of this paper is to compare and contrast two different decision making processes and elucidate the steps involved that are currently being utilized to determine the need for expansion of a new chest pain center within the Emergency Room of a large, busy hospital. Therefore, the Rational Decision Making Model Process will be compared to the Creative Decision Making Model Process as they both are being utilized during this decision making task. Of…
