Selects evidence for best practice when planning professional nursing care for individuals, families, aggregates, and communities.

This criterion is linked to a Learning Outcome Practice issue statement, scope of practice, practice area
Identifies a Practice issue statement that is an independent nursing decision, and is relevant to the systematic review topic chosen from among the list provided in the course. Describes the scope of practice issues. Example: The number of falls in your facility has been increasing, especially during shift change. What do you believe may be causing this? Are there any new interventions that could be put into place that would lessen or eliminate the falls? This is where you begin your initial search into the problem or practice issue identified. Identifies the practice area.
