Examine practices and/or practice guidelines established to address your selected issue and determine how current the evidence is that supports them.
- Bring to mind an issue related to your practice. You may use the issue you are exploring for your EBP Project, or another current issue in your specialty area.
- If possible, examine practices and/or practice guidelines established to address your selected issue and determine how current the evidence is that supports them.
- Using the Library, locate recently published articles that discuss research translated into evidence that applies to your selected practice issue. If you are unable to locate current articles (within the last five years), use the Internet to find evidence-based practice articles on this topic.
- Consider the following questions:
- How current is the science that supported the practice or practice guidelines?
- What new evidence has emerged since the practice guidelines were crafted and adopted?
