Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the use of the best research-
AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ
based evidence combined with clinician expertise. Clinical judgment
AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ
based on the nurses clinical experience is part of EBP, but
AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ
clinical decision making should also incorporate current research
AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ
and research-based guidelines. Evaluation of patient outcomes is
AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ
important, but interventions should be based on research from
AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ
randomized control studies with a large number of subjects.

The nursing
AQAQ process is a
AQAQ problem-solving approach
AQAQ to the
AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ
identification and
AQAQ treatment of patients problems. Diagnosis is
AQAQ A Q A Q AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ
only one phase of the nursing process. The primary use of
AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ
the
AQAQ nursing
AQAQ process is in patient
AQAQ care, not to
AQAQ establishAQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ
nursing theory or explain nursing interventions to other health
AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ AQAQ

problem and choose an appropriate intervention, the nurses first
