As an educator, you know how important it is to equip tomorrow's nurses, physician assistants, and physical therapists with the tools they need to make sound clinical choices--and to ensure that those choices are based on solid clinical evidence.
This user-friendly guide demystifies the often-confusing topic of research, and helps your students use the most current research tools to hone their diagnostic and assessment skills, refine their therapeutic choices, and improve outcomes for their patients.
Guide your students to a clearer view of evidence-based nursing practice... · Clear, accessible content helps students locate the most clinically relevant evidence from current studies, assess the value of that evidence, and teach the basics of evidence-based practice to others. · Step-by-step "how to" approach helps students ask the right questions and critically appraise evidence, while explaining the principles that guide study funding and the generation of sound evidence. · Practical examples let your students see evidence-based decision-making at work in healthcare practice and education. · The latest information dissemination methods help students develop the skills needed to communicate key evidence to colleagues, the media, and health policy makers both locally and globally. · A free CD-ROM with 40 evidence reviews spanning five clinical specialty areas shows students what works and why--and provides ample opportunities for self-paced study and review. · Motivational quotes throughout the text provide insight and inspiration. · Valuable CE credits are available to users answering a series of incisive questions on the CD-ROM.
