The purpose of this paper is to apply what you have learned about evidence based practice and best practices in high acuity settings to your experience in the clinical site.

To get started: Consider a nursing practice you observe at the clinical site this semester. This should be something you see nurses doing. It could be something done by one individual nurse or a policy/procedure of the hospital. Remember when you use a hospital policy you must cite the policy. (This is not difficult, but often overlooked.) Identify if the practice is within the agency policies/procedures. Explore whether there is evidence to support this practice, or if the practice is simply continued because it is familiar. Search the literature to find support for the practice or evidence that it should be changed.
