disadvantageous effects to mechanically ventilated patients. Li et al. did not have firm conclusions, however, did suggest beginning early rehabilitation interventions, that could continue on through discharge to inpatient floors. Overall, the systematic reviews displayed positive outcomes from early ambulation, although, the evidence was weak/moderate and more research needs to be completed with more defined and consistent methods and measures. More research is needed to answer the PICO…

impressions in science, education, and practice in the discipline. The field does not develop new nursing knowledge or validate existing data; rather, it enables medical practitioners to use tried and tested techniques to make clinical decisions. This paper review literature to reveal the way EBP incorporates patient values, preferences, and clinical experiences in nursing practice. The analysis section translates the implications of evidence and knowledge when implementing best practice in…

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…

Why Bother with Evidence? The authors’ purpose for writing this article is to grasp better understanding on why evidence-based practice and research still has a lot of reforming and updating to do. There was a noticeable lack in proper evidence-based practice and research by medical professionals which appears to be the primary reason that the authors of this article felt guided to provide reasoning and practice techniques to correct this problem. These authors also wanted to display how…

In every area, unless we are stating our own opinion, evidence is the fundamental building block for making an argument. Any audience, requires an appropriate amount of evidence to believe in the veracity of a presenter’s argument. In the following writing, I will be going through my recent experience in presenting the topic, “Australia SHOULD NOT cull…

There are eight evidence based practices (EBP), however some would argue as few as six (Bond, 2002) and possibly more than ten (Dixon et al., 2010). 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…
