Using an evidence-based approach to address clinical questions incorporates relevant scientific advancements into daily practice in order to improve outcomes. Evidence-based practice enhances the ability to more effectively guide self-management and health related decision-making. It is important for nursing care to keep pace with technological advances and to be responsive to new knowledge. Incorporating research into practice solidifies the unique role nurses play in the healthcare eco-system in support of health for all.
