Evidence-based nursing practice (EBP) is the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of theory-derived, research-based information in making decisions about care delivery to individuals or groups of patients and in consideration of individual needs and preferences (DeNisco, 2016, p. 464). EBP research is a combination of clinical knowledge, patient value as well as research that is steered to establish best practice for advanced and bettered patient care. Several steps can be taken when conducting evidence-based research. 1. What needs improvement 2. Develop a PICOT question for the situation. 3. Select the appropriate resources to gather the research. 4. Check the validity on all research sources, study findings, and proceed with implementing the research into your current practice.

Nurses in my specialty use AORN or ASPAN for information sources. Association of Perioperative Nurses (AORN) Guidelines for Perioperative Practice are the gold-standard in evidence-based recommendations to deliver safe perioperative patient care and achieve workplace safety (AORN, 2020). AORN encourages excellence in perioperative nursing practice, advancing the profession, and supporting the professional perioperative registered nurse. AORN upholds and supports safe care for patients undergoing operative and other procedures by creating this collection of evidence-rated perioperative guidelines. American Society of PeriAnesthesia Nurses (ASPAN) represents the interests of nurses who specialize in preanesthesia and postanesthesia care, ambulatory surgery, and pain management. ASPAN provides its members with the latest in perianesthesia education, research, clinical practice expertise, standards and advocacy (ASPAN, 2020).

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.
