Discussion

Evidence-Based Practice

Evidence-based nursing (EBN) practice helps professional nurses make informed decisions by learning from what others in the field have researched. EBN practice bases clinical and healthcare decisions on carefully considered research, clinical experience and clinical content rather than relying on time-honored but unproven practices. When studying EBN, students will use critical thinking to investigate a number of topics including issues in clinical practice, health care within the medical facility and in the community, patient education and technology (Cullen & Titler, 2004).

Evidence-based patient education helps nurses provide unbiased, comprehensive information to support patients' decisions.

Al guides the research process from the standpoint of a theory or conceptual model can guarantee the results with the potential to be generalized not only to subject of study but to other individuals with similar characteristics, because these approaches were created from repeated observations. Turn research evaluate the theory, since you can discard or make changes based on the results (Chen, Brown & Mefford, 2008).
