Often on a “Clinical Practice Nursing Committee,”  we use previously established evidence-based practice guidelines for standards of care. This is a process whereby the generation of  data and topics have been well-researched and established. There are also events or practice issues that need to be evaluated/researched in your institution.  Answer both questions below:

1. Identify one nursing  practice issue in your current or prior health care setting that resulted in research, a collection of data, and resulted in a change in nursing practice.   
2. Discuss a current nursing practice issue for which evidence-based practice guidelines need to be developed. Once completed, speculate on the relevance of the evidence-based practice guideline for nursing care and patient outcomes.
