Do clients with health insurance receive better treatment/care than uninsured clients?
There are many examples of EBP in the daily practice of nursing. Below are a few of the most common.
Infection Control with handwashing and gloving
Oxygen Use in Patients with COPD
Intravenous Catheter Size and Blood Administration
Your assignment is to:
discuss the importance of evidence-based practice going forward (focus on nursing, and can be on heart
disease with diet/exercise, Cancer with infection control, CVA with rehabilitation, etc). Be creative, use your
knowledge gained thus far to come up with a topic you have studied (DMII, Valve replacement, etc).
Propose a research question. What do you believe would happen with your past clients that might help them?
Use this format:
P— Patient or problem.
I — Intervention or issue.
C — Comparison.
O — Outcome.
T — Time
Example: Do new mothers who receive spinal anesthesia have fewer headaches than those who receive
epidural anesthesia in the first two weeks postpartum?
