Evidence-based practice in nursing care

Think of a common saying, perhaps something your family used to say to you, that is health-related Topics (like you must not swim for 30 minutes after you eat, or you’ll get a stomach ache, or if you go outside with wet hair, you’ll catch a cold).

What information you would need to have in order to support or refute these claims? For example, what questions would you need to investigate?

2. What do you think could be challenging to apply evidence-based practice in nursing care? How can you overcome these when you become a nurse?

3. What do you think you will do when you encounter a patient care situation in which decisions are made that go against your values and beliefs?

4. Why is it important to have passions or interests other than nursing? What is your plan to avoid burnout as a nurse?

Cognitive therapy and behavioral therapy

Ellen is making progress, so she and Deanna add on new assignments, in which Ellen will also verbalize and challenge her feelings with appropriate thoughts. When Deanna is invited to present a paper about her treatment of Ellen for an upcoming conference, the form she is filling out asked her to characterize her topic as cognitive therapy and behavioral therapy, or “other.”

She will explain to a trusted friend what she is trying to do and then make a plan in which she and the friend choose a light, comfortable friendly touch, such as nudging each other while teasing, and progress to squeezing each other’s hand at some point in the conversation, and hugging hello and good-bye.

During this time, Ellen now also keeps a journal about how she feels before and after each brief encounter. She also talks first with Deanna and later with her supportive friend about how this feels as she engages in light, friendly touching over time.

What is the first option Deanna described—the one that Ellen rejected?

(Naturally, there is a blank beside “other” to indicate the appropriate category.) How would you categorize her treatment sessions with Ellen? What should Deanna put on the form for the conference? Why?
