INQUIRY IN HEALTH CARE 3References........................................................................................................................................9Inquiry in health careIntroductionEvidence-based practice (EBP) aims to close the gap between research and nursing practice. The gap is bridged when evidence is applied in practice. The concept of EBP is advancing since healthcare systems demand that healthcare providers practice from a research base. As such, healthcare professionals require adequate research and appraisal knowledge. The health professionals should have skills on how to evaluate evidence using systematic processes of critique. These skills enable the healthcare providers to use evidence in making clinical decisions. EBP is fundamental to nursing practice because it improves patient outcomes and enhances safety in the delivery of care. For the achievement of these goals, health care institutions should create a culture of EBP in a clinical context. Due to this fact, organisational leaders should set expectations that nurse engage in research. This expectation should be buttressed through nursing development, mentoring, access to scientific and nursing journals, and provision of required resources. This assignment is based on the case study of Wasim, a university student. It consists of two sections, part A and part B. Part AEvidence One Hildt, E., Lieb, K., & Franke, A. G. (2014). Life context of pharmacological academic performance enhancement among university students – a qualitative approach. BMC Medical Ethics, 15(1), 23-23. doi:10.1186/1472-6939-15-23

Based on their expertise,the authors can understand the motivation and the effects of the use of smart drugs. Hildt works in the department of philosophy at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz while Leib and Franke work in the department of psychiatry and psychotherapy at the University Medical Center. The affiliation of the authors and experience working with university students can be used to predict their credibility. The authors assert that they have no competing interest (Hildt, Lieb, & Franke, 2014). Research Aims The study aimed to examine the phenomenon of academic enhancement through the use of prescription and illicit stimulant among university students. Further, the study wished to investigate student’s experience, the impacts of intake on university students and other impacts like pressure to attain good performance in their academic as well as in their private lives. Five research questions were used in this study. Firstly, why do university students consume stimulants in an academic context? Secondly, what experiences are felt by users? Thirdly, does the intake of stimulants in academic setting offer advantages? Fourthly, how does the use of stimulants affect the student’s lives? Finally, what side-effects do users experience? (Hildt, Lieb, & Franke, 2014).The authors justified the study by noting that there was no evidence-based data on the effects of the use of stimulants in an academic context. Design The sampling method was used for this study to select the participants who were university students. A sample is a subset of the population chosen to represent the whole
