Teamwork and Collaboration - ✔️✔️Function effectively within nursing and inter-
professional teams, fostering open communication, mutual respect, and shared
decision-making to achieve quality patient care.
Finding solutions to practice questions or problems - ✔️✔️1. Develop an answerable
question.
2. Search the literature to uncover evidence to answer the question.
3. Evaluate the evidence found.
4. Apply the evidence to the practice situation.
5. Evaluate the outcome.
Reliability - ✔️✔️Evidence must also be consistently and accurately measured.2 Even
clinical experience, as a form of evidence, demonstrates that the same treatment
applied to similar patients over time leads to similar outcomes
Validity - ✔️✔️For evidence to be valid, it must successfully measure what the study
set out to measure. The definition of validity is producing the desired result, effective,
sound.
Replicability - ✔️✔️Evidence is built on research findings. Findings can only be verified
if they can be repeated. If other researchers are unable to achieve the same results
using the same methodology as the original study, the evidence presented by that study
is called into question.
Grade A - ✔️✔️Strongly Recommends
- There is high certainty that the net benefit is substantial.
Grade B - ✔️✔️Recommends
-There is high certainty that the net benefit is moderate or there is moderate certainty
that the net benefit is moderate to substantial.
Grade C - ✔️✔️No recommendation for or against. there may be considerations that
support providing the intervention in an individual patient but not for the general
population. There is at least moderate certainty that the net benefit is small.
Grade D - ✔️✔️Recommends Against
-There is moderate or high certainty that the intervention has no net benefit or that the
harms outweigh the benefits.
I Statement - ✔️✔️Insufficient evidence to recommend for or against. The current
evidence is insufficient to assess the balance of benefits and harms of service.
, Evidence is lacking of poor quality, or conflicting, and the balance of benefits and harms
cannot be determined.
Quantitative Research - ✔️✔️"focused on the testing of a hypothesis through objective
observation and validation"
Gold standard for quantitative research - ✔️✔️Randomized controlled double-blind
studies
Patient-centered care - ✔️✔️Recognize the patient or designee as the source of
control and full partner in providing compassionate and coordinated care based on
respect for patient's preferences, values, and needs.
Evidence-based Practice - ✔️✔️integrate best current evidence with clinical expertise
and patient/family preferences and values for delivery of optimal health care
Quality Improvement - ✔️✔️Use data to monitor the outcomes of care processes and
use improvement methods to design and test changes to continuously improve the
quality and safety of health care systems.
Safety - ✔️✔️Minimize risk of harm to patients and providers through both system
effectiveness and individual performance.
Informatics - ✔️✔️use information and technology to communicate, manage
knowledge, mitigate error, and support decision making
Accountability - ✔️✔️to be answerable to oneself and others for one's own actions
Assignement - ✔️✔️no transfer of authority occurs. Instead, assignments are a
bureaucratic function that reflect job descriptions and client or organizational needs.
Authority - ✔️✔️Delegation is often confused with work allocation or assignment.
Delegation transfers both responsibility and authority (the right to act or to accomplish
the task).
Delegation - ✔️✔️the process or a nurse to direct another person to perform nursing
tasks and activities
Delegate - ✔️✔️is the individual who assumes responsibility for the actual performance
of the task or procedure.
Delagator - ✔️✔️is the individual who assigns the task and retains accountability for
the outcome.
