What is evidence-based nursing?

"Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) is a thoughtful integration of the best available evidence, coupled with clinical expertise. As such it enables health practitioners of all varieties to address healthcare questions with an evaluative and qualitative approach." -- University of Minnesota Libraries

What role does the research literature play?
To practice evidence-based nursing, the practitioner assesses “current and past research, clinical guidelines, and other information resources in order to identify relevant literature while differentiating between high-quality and low-quality findings.” – University of Minnesota Libraries
