  • Title: Understanding the Importance of Evidence-Based Practice in Nursing

    Create a Microsoft Word document and answer the following questions based on this module’s readings. Your response should be a minimum of 3–5 sentences in length, original (in your own words), and use professional writing.
    What is meant by evidence for nursing?
    Describe the difference between local and global evidence?
    In what situation would the use of local evidence be more desirable than external evidence?

    Can you imagine different situations or contexts in which one model may fit better and another in which you might adapt another model? Explain.

    Assignment Instructions
    Review all of the articles in preparation for this assignment. Using this Research Hierarchy Template (Word), you will list one journal article for each of the seven levels of the research hierarchy pyramid (you will not need to use all articles to complete the hierarchy; you will use a total of eight of the articles). Articles will not be used in more than a single hierarchy level.
    After you have determined one journal article that corresponds with each of the levels of the hierarchy, provide a one to two sentence statement for each article to explain your rationale for selecting it and assigning it to that hierarchical level.

    Reading-friendly writing conveys clear and simple communication. “Effective communication is a three-part process: the message is translated into words, verbal or written; the message is delivered to the target audience (verbal report, letter, memo, report style of preference), and the goal is achieved – the intended report audience understands the communicated message” (Dickinson & Meyer, 2020, p. 834). The writing communication and report writing should be free of misspellings, unbiased, and organized. This helps with written communication and report writing since both the attorney and client can have a better understanding of the case.
    The legal nurse consultant’s report consists of supporting research and documentation. Editing written communications and reports ensures that the reader understands the conveyed message. The legal nurse consultant can edit written reports when additional information or documents found. This ensures that the report is kept up to date and concise. In return, a concise report improves the outcome of a case.
