NURS A125: Adult Nursing I

"Evidence based medicine is about asking questions, finding and appraising the relevant data, and harnessing that information for everyday clinical practice" (Rosenberg, 1995, p. 112).

Steps of the EBP process:

1. Formulate a clear clinical question from a patient's problem
2. Search the literature for relevant clinical articles
3. Evaluate the evidence for its validity and usefulness
4. Implement useful findings in clinical practice
