Compare and contrast creative strategies to implement research evidence into nursing practice.

Introduction

What does evidence- based practice (EBP) mean? Why is it important to nursing? How does your own work environment use EPB and what strategies you can use to implement EBP into nursing practice? This week you will need to think about and analyze a specific situation that has occurred in your work setting and the impact critical thinking had on that specific situation.
