PART TWO
Question one
The primary goal of evidence based practice is to improve and standardize the access of quality
health care system. It plays critical role in improving the nursing skills, improving the patient
outcomes and lowering the costs of care in clinical settings. Through the nursing education,
evidence based practice incorporates clinical experience, critical thinking and decision making
skills for nurses to adapt to healthcare situations. The use of EBP has helped in nursing education
programs by providing nurses the required knowledge and skills which has led to quality health
care outcome.
Question two
Tanner’s model of clinical judgment involves four phases which includes noticing, interpreting,
responding. It interprets about health issue or health requirements of patient and decision or
actions that should be taken or not be taken to solve such health issue. In this case, clinical
judgment which is based on interpreting, responding and assessing skills are pertinent in
practice. With the use of tanner’s model of clinical judgment, nurses are able to notice or identify
sign of certain disease, interpret the clinical outcome and predict on potential complications. In
comparison to tanner’s model of clinical judgment, evidence based model involves apprising,
assessing which allows a rapid and appropriate application of the current research to best nursing
practice. It involves a patient centered approach which is founded on clinical expertise, patient
experiences and scientific research. With the help of healthcare research nurses are able to get
knowledge on making decision of care and treatment. In this scenario, both models are aimed at

ensuring optimal patient outcome as tanner’s model includes analyzing and reasoning made by
nurses for quality care delivery.
Question three
This means that nurses and physician have to consider and respect what the patient believes in or
other words the nurse has to respect the decision of the patients may be regarding the medication
of certain disorder for improved patient outcome. A good example is when a family nurse is
assigned to care for a patient with mental disorder. Sometimes patients with mental disorders are
neglected because of their mental status. In this case the nurse is supposed to give guidance and
support the patient by listening to, informing and involving his or her patients in their care.
Question four
Insufficient resources- Many health care organizations lack enough staff and receive insufficient
funds for adequate research required in the implementation of evidence based practice in the
clinical trials.
Lack of enough time and skills- Many health care staffs have limited time to conduct extra
research and findings required in the implementation of evidence based practice. Besides, many
have insufficient skills and knowledge on how to conduct research which negatively affects the
implementation of evidence based practice.
Lack of autonomy- the policies and regulations in many hospitals organizations does not allow
nurses to change the patient care procedure of their own thereby obstructing the use of evidence
based practice.
