◉ What is evidence-based practice (EBP)? Answer: EBP is an
approach that uses firm scientific data to present the most effective
treatments, rather than anecdote, tradition, intuition, or folklore, in
making decisions about medical and nursing practice. In nursing, it
includes blending clinical judgement and expertise with the best
available research evidence and patient characteristics and
preferences.
◉ What are the goals of EBP? Answer: The goal of EBP is to identify
the most effective and cost-effective treatments for a particular
disease, condition, or problem.

the general. The nurse gathers separate pieces of info., recognizes a
pattern, and forms a generalization or conclusion.
◉ What is deductive reasoning? Answer: Starts with a general
premise and moves to a specific deduction. You have the "big
picture" about what is true in general, and from that you can identify
what is likely to be true for a particular individual.
,◉ What is guesswork? Answer: Guesswork is not an appropriate
nursing strategy, it requires no use of reasoning or critical thinking
skills.

therapy). Specify exact times when needed.

by your credentials.
