Discuss how evidence-based practice is applied in your practice setting and describe the desired patient outcome achieved through this approach.…
Medicine has changed over the years as we discover new and safer ways to approach different situations. These changes mainly occur because of evidence-based practice. In this discussion board I will describe how organizational infrastructure and culture assistance the implementation of nursing evidence-based practices. Subsequently, I will explain the process my organization uses for implementing evidence-based practice.…
A number of studies reveal that the advantages of implementing evidence-based practice by nurses and other health professional’s results in the advancement quality of care that leads to enhanced patient outcomes. Furthermore, the current use of evidence-based in the clinical setting would result in increased patient outcome since the evidence-based practice includes multidisciplinary recommendations that could facilitate all nurses in addressing questions related to the best patient care.…
In this section, students describe what worries them about current practice. They answer the question, what…
Evidence-based practice needs one to get all the available evidence on a study topic. Internal evidence is applied in diagnostic reasoning such as in data banks. Concerning the issue of patients with ventilation-caused pneumonia, the nurse opts to visit institutions to gain evidence. On the other hand, external evidence is found in scientific studies and randomized control trials. This type of evidence is found from outside sources other than records from hospital facilities. Internal evidence enables standardization of the practice. However,…
The focus of this assignment is to look at Evidence Based Practice (EBP), why it is important for nursing to be evidence based and the barriers to implementation of EBP.…
In preparation for her meeting with the Unit Practice Council, Michele needs to be able to explain what evidence-based practice is and why adopting evidence-based practice will be beneficial to the unit. “Evidence-based practice is a problem-solving approach to clinical decision making within a health care organization. It integrates the best available scientific evidence with the best available experiential (patient and practitioner) evidence. EBP considers internal and external influences on practice and encourages critical thinking in the judicious application of such evidence to the care of individual patients, a patient population, or a system” (Newhouse, Dearholt, Poe, Pugh,&White,…

This paper focuses on the Response to Intervention. As educators we are hearing RTI more frequently in the school districts than ever before. Many educators and state officials agree that all teachers should know and get to know the benefits and importance of RTI. The most crucial aspect to know is the RTI takes place into the regular childhood classroom; this is not something that just special education teachers need to know. This paper explains the purpose and a brief history of RTI. The paper offers ways that it is beneficial for school districts to implement this research based program. However, as in many systems there are always challenges, the paper briefly discusses some of the challenges that educators face when implementing RTI. Lastly, this paper discusses why it is critical for teachers to intervene early.…
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is an interdisciplinary approach to clinical practice that has been gaining ground following its formal introduction in 1992. It started in medicine as evidence-based medicine (EBM) and spread to other fields such as dentistry, nursing, psychology, education, library and information science and other fields. Its basic principles are that all practical decisions made should 1) be based on research studies and 2) that these research studies are selected and interpreted according to some specific norms characteristic for EBP. Typically such norms disregard theoretical and qualitative studies and consider quantitative studies according to a narrow set of criteria of what counts as evidence. If such a narrow set of…
This week the discussion focuses on why research and evidenced-based practice are important to the nursing profession.…
Evidence-based practice has not been a topic that interested me personally and was initially somewhat over-whelming. This class has changed my perception.…
Research in Nursing has become a fundamental discipline throughout the years and this report will provide an insight into the process of research. This report will show how to use the Cinhal database to extract the best available article within the parameters of Tissue Viability and formulation of the research question. The main features will focus on the reliability and validity of the chosen topic of the Waterlow Scale tool and the comprehensive evaluation of the evidence. The main aim of this report is to validate the effectiveness of Waterlow Assessment Tool and identify any risk factors, towards the prevention of pressure ulcers. The overall strengths and weaknesses of the report will highlight any justifications that would challenge the validity of the search. The final stages will evaluate the conclusions of the literature and whether it is justifiable to apply into practice, analyzing some of the barriers to facilitate its implementation. The conclusion will summarize all the key points in the report and any further recommendations required for the future.…
It is also different than basic science because it is not based on theory but rather is an evidence-based practice intervention approach to make decisions about the well-being of the target population, which are children with physical disabilities. Additionally, it follows the several steps of arranging occupational science information for application by the occupational therapists within the intervention process.…
