Evidence-Based Practice for Nurses

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.
