Often on a “Clinical Practice Nursing Committee,” we use previously established evidence-based practice guidelines for standards of care.

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.
