Evidence-based Practice

Share what evidence-based practice means to you (EBP) and describe how EBP is used in your practice setting.

 Nursing care should not be based on opinions or past practices, but on the results of scientific evidence. The skills involved in formulating and analyzing clinical questions form the foundation for effectively accessing the evidence related to nursing practice in any setting. Being able to find the relevant evidence related to a clinical question is a second crucial skill in evidence-based practice.
