Five steps in the EBP Process

1.) Create focused questions - Do you need information on nursing intervention, treatment, diagnosis, prognosis, etiology?

2.) Find evidence that answers the question – search primary and secondary resources

3.) Critically appraise the evidence for validity and usefulness - Determine the validity of the article (Was the assignment of patient randomized? Was follow-up complete?) What is the result? Will the results help with patient care?

4.) Apply the results in clinical practice

5.) Evaluate the clinical application of the evidence
