Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the use of the best research-based evidence combined with clinician
w w w w w w w w w w w w w
expertise. Clinical judgment based on the nurses clinical experience is part of EBP, but clinical
w w w w w w w w w w w w w w w
wdecision making should also incorporate current research and research-based guidelines. Evaluation of
w w w w w w w w w w w
wpatient outcomes is important, but interventions should be based on research from randomized control
w w w w w w w w w w w w w
wstudies with a large number of subjects.
