Written in a friendly, conversational style, this Third Edition of Bernadette Melnyk and Ellen Fineout-Overholt’s gold standard textbook covers all the steps students need to make evidence-based practice part of their clinical decision making and everyday nursing practice. Real world examples and meaningful strategies in every chapter show students how to take a clinical issue from inquiry toa sustainable solution that drives a preferred standard of care.
This edition includes new features to help students see the difference they can make by using the EBP paradigm and process, including EBP Fast Facts that highlight important points from each chapter and Making EBP Real boxes at the end of each unit that present successful case stories in real world settings. The Third Edition also offers an expanded array of online resources, including, for students, the American Journal of Nursing EBP Step-by-Step Series, which provides a real-world example of the EBP process, and, for instructors, a suggested curriculum strategy involving that series, plus guided lecture notes and sample syllabi.
