The second edition of Janet Barker's bestselling textbook introduces the concept of evidence-based practice to nurses in a uniquely straightforward way. Split into three Parts, the book firstly provides students with a theoretical background to the topic, secondly explores the skills needed for an evidence-based approach and finally demonstrates how readers can apply the knowledge they have gained to their own practice and student work. A learning tool which really gets readers thinking, the book features:
o Quirky word puzzles to test knowledge
o Activities for reflection
o Boxes, tables and figures to outline key points
o A glossary of important terms covered in the book
o Learning outcomes and chapter summaries for revision
It will be essential reading for all student nurses at pre-qualifying level, and for qualified nurses who are exploring issues related to evidence-based practice for the first time.
