How Do Nurses Use Evidence-Based Practice to Improve Care?
Evidence-based practice (EBP) involves integrating clinical expertise with the best available research evidence and patient preferences. Nurses can improve care by:
Research: Staying updated with the latest research and applying findings to clinical practice. Protocols: Developing and following clinical guidelines and protocols based on evidence to standardize care. Quality Improvement Projects: Engaging in projects aimed at improving specific aspects of patient care, such as infection control or pain management.
