TITLE: “Discuss the evidence for an aspect of clinical practice that impacts on the
quality of the patient experience”
Part 1: Introduction
Evidence based practice is defined as the practice that depends on mathematical and scientific
evidence in order to form strong deductive or inductive arguments for decision making and
guidance. The practices which are not based on evidence rely on intuition, tradition or other
types of unproven methods. Evidence based practice includes incorporation of 3 elements in
order to enhance the outcomes as well as quality of life. Randomised control trials, clinical
practice guidelines, systematic reviews and best practice that support transformation in clinical
practice are include an external evidence. The main goal of evidence based practice is not only to
enhance the level of health outcomes of population, but to provide the patient information on the
basis of evidence along with expertise and experience of the clinician in order to assist patient in
making choice on the basis of his/ her preferences and values (Aasvang, Luna and Kehlet, 2015).
It is the judicious and conscientious utilisation of current best evidence in concurrence with
patient values and clinical expertise to direct decisions associated with health care. This essay is
based on the topic “Patients need to fast before surgery”. This aspect of clinical practice
highly influences the quality of experience of patient. Before any kind of surgery, the patient
needs to fast because when a patient undergoes surgery, the body reflexes are stopped
temporarily. Evidence based practice highly contributes in nursing by providing nurses with
scientific research in order to make the decisions which are well founded. Through it, nursing
staff can stay updated regarding new protocol of medical for patient care. It also allows nurses to
assess research so as to understand the effectiveness or risk of a diagnostic treatments or tests
(Berwanger and et. al., 2016). This essay covers rationale of selection of topic and question is
formulated by using PICO model. It also discusses the process of searching and search strategy.
Apart from this, CASP tool is used to provide strengths and limitations of research paper.
Part 2: Question By Using PICO Framework
At the time of carrying out systematic search, the first ask for researchers to develop specific
research questions by utilising PICO framework, it stands for population, intervention,
comparison and outcome. This process is mnemonic utilised in evidence based practice in order
