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,…

Evidence based practice helps us to ensure that we are providing the best possible care to our patients. By basing our care on practices that have outcomes based on evidence just makes since. They have been tested and proven to be effective on patients. We don’t have to do trial and error to find out what works the best for our patients, the work has been done for us. This gives our patients the best care possible. Many changes have been made over the past 10 years based on evidence based practices. There are many resources available to nurses, nurse managers, administrators and others that provide research that has been completed. These resources include different kinds of studies that have been performed. They include cohort studies, case…

Patient-centered care is globally becoming the focus in the health care system, resulting in the integration of evidence-based practice to improve care. Evidence-based practice has been introduced to the health care industry to incorporate clinical expertise, scientific research, and the values as well as preferences of patients to ensure that the patient is the focus of care. Nurses play a crucial role in the implementation of evidence-based practice to ensure that clinical decisions based on current evidence, patient values, and clinical expertise guide the care provided to the patient. To improve care, nurses must consider what decisions should be made for the care of a patient through careful assessment of patient preferences while also…
