sanitary conditions and death rates among wounded soldiers during the Crimean War of 1850s
•When sanitary conditions improved - death rates decreased = evidence based practice
- Evidence based practice - conscientious, explicit and judicious use of current best evidence in
making decisions about the care of individualized patients
