Task: Evidence Based Practice Discussion Response

Studies have now shown that 30% to 40% of patients who are cared for do not get care based on evidence based practice (EBP). As nurses or healthcare providers, it is required to use information on executive skills and offer the best practice to obtain high-quality patient care (Mahmoud & Abdelrasol, 2019). In order to fill the gap between nursing research and practice, it is necessary to enhance nursing knowledge and be devoted to EBPs. One of the reasons why EBPs are not quickly implemented and followed in a healthcare setting is due to the lack of understanding on evaluating a research study among nurses (Mahmoud et al., 2019).

Research should be evaluated by understanding its quality and value. Nurses should advance their education and explore the world of research. When nurses are not trained or are not participating in research, it becomes a difficult task to utilize research findings (Mahmoud et al., 2019). For many of the nurses that this learner works with, they are happy to come to work, finish the job on time, and go back home. There are many nurses who are not interested in researching EBPs and give the excuse that s/he does not have time.

You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.

Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.

Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.

The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
