Nurse Use?
A. Clinical Judgement Based On Experience
B. Evidence From A Clinical Research Study
C. The Best Available Evidence To Guide Clinical Expertise
D. Evaluation Of Data Showing That The Client Outcomes Are Met

Evidence-Informed Nursing Practice Is A Continuous Interactive Process Involving The Explicit,
Conscientious, And Judicious Consideration Of The Best Available Evidence To Provide Care. Four
Primary Elements Are: (A) Clinical State, Setting, And Circumstances; (B) Client Preferences And Actions;
(C) Best Research Evidence, And (D) Health Care Resources. Clinical Judgement Based On The Nurse’s
Clinical Experience Is Part Of EIP, But Clinical Decision Making Also Should Incorporate Current Research
And Research-Based Guidelines. Evidence From One Clinical Research Study Does Not Provide An
Adequate Substantiation For Interventions. Evaluation Of Client Outcomes Is Important, But
Interventions Should Be Based On Research From Randomized Control Studies With A Large Number Of
Subjects.

Health Care Professionals.

Hour Turning Schedule To Prevent Skin Breakdown. Which Type Of Nursing Function Is Demonstrated
With This Turning Schedule?

Dependent Action Would Require A Physician Order To Implement. Cooperative Nursing Functions Are
Not Described As One Of The Formal Nursing Functions.

Appropriate, But More Assessment Is Needed Before The Best Intervention Can Be Chosen.
