Often on a “Clinical Practice Nursing Committee,” we use previously established evidence-based practice guidelines for standards of care. This is a process whereby the generation of data and topics have been well-researched and established. There are also events or practice issues that need to be evaluated/researched in your institution. Answer both questions below:
Identify one nursing practice issue in your current or prior health care setting that resulted in research, a collection of data, and resulted in a change in nursing practice.
Discuss a current nursing practice issue for which evidence-based practice guidelines need to be developed. Once completed, speculate on the relevance of the evidence-based practice guideline for nursing care and patient outcomes.
