"We conceptualized this text around the belief that nurses want what is best for their patients. Through our work in the evidence-based practice movement, we have come to learn that this is not always a simple endeavor. The rapid explosion of information and its sources has contributed to the complexity of practicing in a way that yields desirable outcomes. In order to access, appraise, and utilize the available information, students and practicing nurses alike need to learn first about evidence-based practice. In this book, we present the elemental principles that demystify the process in a way that is easily accessible and excites passion for patient care"-- Provided by publisher.
