A nurse is reviewing treatment guidelines for managing acute asthma exacerbations in the emergency department. To incorporate evidence-based practice in her care, what should the nurse prioritize when selecting interventions?
Adapting interventions based solely on patient's preferences
Utilizing peer-reviewed research findings and clinical guidelines
Following traditional practices used in the department
The correct answer is 'Utilizing peer-reviewed research findings and clinical guidelines'. Evidence-based practice requires nurses to use the best available, current, peer-reviewed research when making clinical decisions. Applying interventions grounded in high-quality evidence and established guidelines leads to safer and more effective patient care. In contrast, relying on traditional habits, informal colleague advice, or basing care solely on a patient's preferences lacks the systematic evaluation and rigor that define evidence-based practice.
