Evidence-based nursing practice is a systematic, problem-solving approach to clinical practice that combines the best evidence from well-designed trials, principles, and desires of patients, and experience of the clinician in making decisions about the care of the patient. There are a variety of rating systems and evidence hierarchies that determine the strength or quality of evidence generated from the study or report.
It is important for every clinician to be knowledgeable about evidence-based practice and evidence levels as clinicians need to be confident about how much emphasis they should place on a particular study, report, practice alert, or clinical practice guideline when making decisions about the care of a patient.
