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…

1)Research is different from clinical problem solving in that research is a systematic process by which new knowledge is discovered through the gathering of data and information from different sources(Fain, 2013). In addition, research is also done to support knowledge that already exists based on a theory to build on or improve the information that already exists. This can be knowledge that is directly applied to our practice or knowledge that needs further validation before application…

Evidence based practice directly impacts the care we provide our patients and improve current practices. According to Jones (2014), “Practicing health professionals are able to offer a distinct perspective from academic researchers, making their contributions to the development of healthcare services research very important”. As healthcare providers it is important that we are active in research and look for ways to improve the care that is provided to patients. Nurses can provide invaluable…

Evidence-based practice is a very important part of taking care of patients. “Evidence based research involves collecting, evaluating, and implementing to improve patient care and outcomes (Why Evidence-Based Practive is Vital to Improving Patient Care, 2016).” To me this quote says the most important parts of evidence-based practice.

2015). This process has emerged as a means of improving clinical practice from a culture of nursing guidelines derived from authoritarian traditions, to practice developed upon the current evidence-based research (Aitken et al., 2011). EBP has five systematic steps which enable nurses to make clinical decisions; devising an answerable clinical question, detect the relevant evidence to answer the clinical question, critically appraise the evidence,…

Introduction The practice of evidence-based medicine entails treatments and assessment that have been verified to be in effect through research. Research on pain management has revealed that a combination of diverse types of treatments cab be incorporated for optimal effectiveness.

Evidence based practice is so important in the current healthcare world. When evidence based practice is at the center of any organization, there is great improvement in practice and patient outcome. “Only 55% of the time, patients get the evidence-based practice needed for their plan of treatment (IOM 2001).
