Which institution specific clinical practice resource will the nurse use to integrate?

Which institution-specific clinical practice resource will the nurse use to integrate evidence-based practice (EBP) into the client's care? Clinical pathways are the only resources specific to the institutions using them.

How do nurses implement evidence

Implementation of EBP mainly involves four sequential steps [2]: first, framing a clear question based on a clinical problem; second, searching for relevant evidence in the literature; third, critically appraising the validity of contemporary research; and fourth, applying the findings to clinical decision-making.

Why do nurses use evidence

Evidence-based practice is important for both nurses and patients alike. It allows for healthcare professionals to develop best practices in treating common illnesses and diseases, reduce variation in treatment and increases positive outcomes and recovery.

What provides the strongest evidence on which to base clinical practice?

Evidence-based clinical practice guidelines provide the strongest level of evidence to guide clinical practice because they are based on rigorous reviews of the best evidence on specific topics.
