They all have their place and vary in amount of evidence and have certain circumstances in which they can provide the best results. The eight EBP discussed are: cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), weight management, skills training, token economies, family psychoeducation, assertive community treatment (ACT), supportive employment (SE), and…

Research shows an improvement in patient outcomes when nurses practice in an evidence-based manner.

Evidence based practice is the foundation for growth in clinical practice. Any procedure cannot be deemed effective unless it has undergone objective studying. Health care providers may complete tasks that are a part of clinical tradition, rather than helpful for patients. In some cases, certain procedures, such as rectal tubes and urinary tract catheters, can cause harm to patients. Determining if a procedure is harmful or beneficial comes from the findings of studies done in clinical…

children with CP. Although this approach is becoming more prominent, more research studies need to be done before it can be used as an approved treatment for children with CP or other neurological disparities. TMS, is similar to TDCS, but instead of a direct pulse it uses a figure-eight electrical coil on the head to make an electromagnetic field that can control cortical excitability and make permanent changes to the brain function (Ramezani et al.). TMS is used in treating ADHD, ASD,…
