Evidence-based Practice in Nursing

Fifth Edition (Revised and Updated Edition)

Evidence-based practice is central to safe, high-quality and effective nursing. However, learning how to critique evidence and apply it to practice can be challenging at first. Written in clear, student-friendly language, this book builds your understanding of the terminology, theory and practice of using evidence. Learn how to evaluate different sources of evidence, apply this to your clinical decision making and, ultimately, contribute to an evidence-based culture in your workplace.

an excellent text which explores evidence-based practice in depth. It introduces the reader to the topic and guides them through various applications. This is incredibly useful to undergraduate nursing students especially who will be new to the topic.
