Introduction to Evidence-based Practice: A Practical Guide for Nursing

Renting vs. Buying This Textbook

Renting is usually cheapest if you only need the book for one term: you return it with a free prepaid label when the term ends. Buying used can beat renting when the sell-back price is high, so compare the sell-back price with the rental price before you decide. An eTextbook arrives instantly but usually expires. Rentals and used copies rarely include working access codes.

Always match the ISBN on your syllabus (9780803623286) before you order; different editions have different ISBNs.

About This Book

Employers expect new graduates to be well-versed in evidence-based practice--its theory and its implementation. Begin with a concise introduction to evidence-based practice to gain a full perspective of what it is and why it's so important. Then draw upon must-have guidance and tools that will help you immediately apply what you've learned in both classroom and clinical settings. This practical, step-by-step approach develops the critical-thinking and decision-making skills you need to effectively apply and deliver effective patient care. You'll find separate four sections that consider the context of evidence-based practice, theories and models, ways to find and implement the best sources of evidence, and the application of evidence-based practice to specific nursing specialties. Perfect for a stand-alone, evidence-based course or for integrating throughout the nursing curriculum.
