new evidence in practice, and nurses in practice settings lack easy access to risk-management data, rely
convenience. Some sources of evidence do not originate from research. These include quality improvem
data, infection control data, retrospective or concurrent chart reviews, and clinicians’ expertise. Althou
evidence is often very valuable, it is important that you learn to rely more on research-based evidence.
