NURS 8110 Week 11 Discussion: Evidence-Based Practice
NURS 8110 Week 11 Discussion: Evidence-Based Practice
Throughout this course you have been investigated theoretical frameworks for addressing research questions in the clinical setting and the application of theory to practice. This week continues the exploration of evidence-based practice (EBP) and introduces EBP models which can also provide a framework for applying theory to practice. You will also consider the difference between EBP and clinical research.
