From the Paper:

"Evidence based practice can be used in nursing to help nursing staff develop (1) effective methods of care, (2) design interventions that are evidence based that apply to a patients specific needs and can (3) enable better follow up care based on evidence based results. Evaluating previous evidence enables nursing staff to make decisions grounded in evidence rather than theory, thus improving the likelihood of a positive patient outcome.
When in a nursing program, the best way to begin having an evidence based practice includes reviewing previous cases and evidence regarding certain health situation. A nursing student should take great care to survey all available research regarding a particular case, condition or situation. From this evidence the student can draw conclusions that are most likely to lead to efficient care and a positive patient outcome. "
