Evidence Based Practice Discussion

Directions: Access the current Joint Commission’s National Patient Safety Goals for Nursing Care Center from the web: simple_2022-hap-npsg-goals-101921.pdf (jointcommission.org) or think about a safety violation you have seen in clinical or preceptorship and discuss why that topic is important to you. Be sure you are using some evidence to back it up.

. Next, find and read at least two evidence-based articles that relate to your selected goal. You can use the library or google scholar to find articles that support your topic.

Using your own words (paraphrase), write a one paragraph summary for each article. You are summarizing the evidence. (Don’t use direct quotes). Plagiarism is a violation of academic integrity and will not be tolerated. Evidence of plagiarism is an automatic zero for the course.

In a separate paragraph, clearly indicate (1-2 sentences) how evidence-based practice (EBP) provides optimal care for individual patients/residents. Summarize what actions you will do in your nursing practice to support

evidence based practice
