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