Who chooses which EBP to follow?

As stated by Metz, Espiritu and Moore (2007) there are criteria that must be followed for choosing what research studies to follow. The results of the studies must be tested before applyingg them in patient care. Also taken into consideration are how communities view new practices. Not everyone will view new practices as effective. Cultural considerations also must be considered.

What is Evidenced Based Practice?

evidence based nursing practice enables the nurse to ensure the lives of patients, families, communities and stakeholders better based on the results of nursing research. Nursing care is constantly evolving everyday with new research studies being done to ensure that we are up to date with the best possible nursing practices.
