To ensure ultimate learning outcome, each participant is encouraged to prepare for the following prior to attending the presentation on Evidence-Based Nursing Practice(EBNP).
Familiarize with the listed 3 topics and conduct a general search for best evidence to accomplish the desired goal.
For each scenario, answer these six questions and be prepared to discuss the answers in our presentation.
1. What is the desired outcome?
2. How many options does a nurse have?
3. What supporting evidence can a nurse come up with for each option?
4. What is the nurse's decision as to which option to practice and the rationale for it?
5. What resources does the nurse search for?
6. How does applying EBNP affect the patient care outcome in these scenarios?
Scenario 1: What is the best evidence on the methods used to confirm the placement of NGT (nasogastric tubes)?
Scenario 2: What is the evidence on assessment of pain in cognitively impaired elderly?
Scenario 3: How do I find qualitative studies dealing adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse?
Honestly, these texts are formulated by me and I am doing a research on the extent to which nurses use EBNP in their work. If they really do as the text books suggested, there should be answers flooding to my posting.
Again this is not a homework, but I am just being creative to find out what the real work situation is out there.
The way the text read out to be textbook language, I have no control. This is to my best English proficiency. I am not a native speaker!!!
I do not mean to insult you, but the posted material is proper, formal, academic-type language that is far different from your posting style. It is more "perfect" than most of us native-speakers can come up with. So forgive me if I still believe that it comes from another source. Let me add that you might have come up with the scenarios but the questions themselves appear to be from an academic source.
Also, the objectives of the questions have little to do with assessing "the real work situation out there." They appear to be designed to assess whether the person answering the question understands the concept of EBNP and how to implement this kind of approach and evaluate the results.
If you truly want to find out the real work situation regarding EBNP, I suggest you ask for the information you seek in simple, conversational language.

To answer everything you're asking would require writing a several-paged paper, and that is not something I'd want to do even if this isn't your homework assignment.
If you are doing this for the reasons you state, I would suggest interviewing some nurses in person rather than asking for typed answers. That would make the process easier for them and less of a chore for them.
Why don't you just ask people how they find and use evidence in their practice? -- or something like that. Asking us to illustrate our use of EBP as if writing a paper is an odd way to ask a simple question.

I don't want to be rude either, but this clearly was a copy and paste.
I already graduated nursing school and had to put in countless hours of answering these types of questions in proper APA format. I don't come here to do that. I think if you are looking for opinions on EBP, just post a simple question and inquire about the responses that way.
