Evidence Based Nursing Practice: Current Scenario & eay forwardPrabhjot Saini
Explains about Research practice gap, present scenario, research utilization, constraints & barriers for research utilization, how to find evidences for EBP and strategiesto do it
This presentation is from a webinar on AORN's new Sterilization Recommended Practices and new evidence rating processes. AORN Recommended Practices, although extensively referenced, will now be truly evidence-based. Where there is evidence, it will be indicated. Where evidence is lacking, that too will be indicated.

Clinical reasoning, evidencebased
practice, and symptom analysis
Basic health assessment involves the application of the practitioner’s knowledge and skills to identify and
distinguish normal from abnormal findings. Basic assessment often moves from a general survey of a body
system to specific observations or tests of function. Such an approach to assessment and clinical decision
making uses a deductive process of reasoning. For example, a specialist examining a patient with known
hyperthyroidism would conduct a physical examination to test for deep tendon reflexes. Brisk or hyperreflexic
reflexes would lead the practitioner to conclude that a hyperthyroid state is a likely cause of these findings. This
would greatly narrow the choices of diagnostic tests and treatment decisions.
Advanced assessment builds on basic health assessment yet is performed more often using an inductive or
inferential process, that is, moving from a specific physical finding or patient concern to a more general
diagnosis or possible diagnoses based on history, physical findings, and the results of laboratory and diagnostic
tests. The practitioner gathers further evidence and analyzes this evidence to arrive at a hypothesis that will lead
to a further narrowing of possibilities. This is known as the process of diagnostic reasoning.
Diagnostic reasoning
Diagnostic reasoning is a scientific process in which the practitioner suspects the cause of a patient’s symptoms
and signs based on previous knowledge. The practitioner gathers relevant information, selects necessary tests,
makes an accurate diagnosis, and recommends therapy. The difference between an average and an excellent
practitioner is the speed and focus used to arrive at the correct conclusion and initiate the best course of
evidencebased treatment with minimum harm, cost, inconvenience, and delay. This expertise of the
practitioner is acquired through knowledge and a skill set developed through experience in clinical practice.
Repeated practice with real cases helps to develop memory schemes for relating clinical problems and store
them in longterm memory.
By using diagnostic reasoning, the practitioner is able to accomplish the following:
• Determines and focuses on what needs to be asked, what data need to be obtained, and what needs to
be examined
• Performs examinations and diagnostic tests accurately
• Clusters all pertinent findings
• Analyzes and interprets the findings
• Develops a list of likely or differential diagnoses
The diagnostic process
The primary care context
The process of assessment in the primary care setting begins with the patient or caregiver stating a reason for
the visit or a chief concern. Most visits to primary care providers involve concerns or symptoms presented by
the patient, such as an earache, vomiting, or fatigue. The initial evidence is collected through a patient history.
