Locating Credible Databases and Research
EBP stands for Evidence-Based Practice, and it is defined as the utilization of the best available evidence in order to perform better problem-solving and decision-making while imparting medical care and treatment. EBP improves the way scientific research evidence is obtained and transformed into the best possible decision for providing health care (Steglitz et al., 2015). Diabetes is one of the most common diseases found today, and owing to its variety of types, it can become hard for nurses and new healthcare personnel to efficiently identify it. If left unchecked and untreated, diabetes can pose extreme danger to the well-being of the patient, and it can even culminate in treatments such as amputation. EBP research can play the part of educating nurses and fresh medical personnel on how to identify the diagnosis, which in turn can mean quicker attention being given to the patient.
The scenario in this assessment revolves around a nurse fresh out of orientation. The nurse finds himself in a conundrum over a certain diagnosis of a patient, and due to not being familiar with it, he does not resort to the utilization of EBP. Hence, the main purpose of this assessment is to propose different types of communication strategies that a nurse with a supervisory role can employ in order to impart the necessary knowledge needed by new nurses for the utilization and proper implementation of EBP for the addressing of various diagnoses.
