what is research - ANS obtaining info and objective facts to advance knowledge about specific
topic
what is evidence - ANS systematic way of approaching a problem
- clinical knowledge
- expert opinion/ info. resulting from research
what are the three components of EBP - ANS best research evidence + clinical nursing
expertise + pt values= EBP
what are the goals of using EBP - ANS find best answer to clinical question
avoid accepting practice that is incorrect or doesn't provide optimal results
avoid rejecting practice that does provide optimal results
what are the 4 benefits of EBP - ANS improve pt care and outcomes
decrease hospital and pt costs
improve workflow
establish optimal clinical practices
define nursing research - ANS systematic and strict scientific process to analyze phenomena of
interest to all areas of nursing, incl. practice, education and administration
define quantitative research - ANS use precise measurement to collect data and analyze it (for
a summary and description or to test relationship among variables)

f. conclusion is presented
