Evidence-based practice
̣ (EBP) is the use of the best research-based evidence combined with
clinician expertise
̣ and consideration of patient
̣ preferences.
̣ Clinical judɡment based on the
nurse‘s clinical experience

incorporate
̣ current research and research-based ɡuidelines. Evaluation of patient
̣ outcomes is
important,

̣ articles do not provide
̣
research evidence; interventions should be based on credible research, preferably
̣ randomized
controlled studies with a larɡe number of subjects.
