Critique Essay.BackgroundEvidence-based practice is available for various conditions such
as heart failure, asthma, and diabetes. The practices are not always implemented during
care delivery, and variation in practices abound. Research on patient safety has
concentrated on data analysis to determine safety issues and show that a new practice will
result to improve quality of care and patient safety. Little attention has been given to how to
implement evidence-based practices (Titler, 2016). Learning how to implement evidence-
based practice will make patient care safer. Implementing EBP safety practices are difficult
and require strategies which address individual practitioners, the complexity of care
systems, senior leadership and changing the cultures of healthcare to be evidence-based
safety practice environments.The field of nursing has a rich history of use of research in
practice. Florence Nightingale pioneered this. Very few nurses participated and contributed
to the foundation which was initiated by Nightingale in the early and mid-1900s. Evidence-
based practice involves the judicious and conscientious use of current best evidence
together with patient values and clinical expertise to guide healthcare decisions (Melnyk,
2011). Best evidence includes evidence from scientific methods like qualitative and
descriptive research, evidence from randomized controlled trials as well as the use of
information from expert opinion and scientific principles. When adequate research
evidence is available, the practice should be directed by research evidence together with
patient values and clinical expertise. Comment by Author: Missing an author in this

with heart failure, asthma and diabetes usually clinical practice interventions which may be
injurious or may not be relevant when healthcare professionals try to look for best options
for these patients (Grove, 2014). Evidence-based practice has significantly helped in
reducing human suffering by ensuring that all irrelevant and injurious practices are no
longer practiced. It has also reduced costs of treatment because nurses use best available

with heart failure, asthma and diabetes as they are receiving the best treatment. Below are
the research questions: Comment by Author: What is the clinical problem of this study?
What is the purpose of the study? Neither one of these criteria are clearly stated.Qualitative
Research Critique Essay.(i) Does evidence-based practice provide the solution for kind of
practice given to the patient?(ii) Is it an effective way of providing the best care to
patients?Method of studyQualitative methods were appropriate to answer the research
questions. This is because these questions are about meaning, experience, and perspective
usually for the participant’s standpoint. These answers that qualitative research presented
in this research were not amenable to measuring or counting. Qualitative research helped in
revealing potential problems experienced when implementing evidence-based practice but
also elaborated that there are some specific strategies that healthcare professionals can use
to ensure they use it in nursing care. The author identified a particular perspective on the
study (Reyes, 2011). He stated that nurses who use evidence-based practice in nursing care
usually apply the current evidence of the patient’s condition to provide patient care. I agree
with the author because through research, nurses and other healthcare professionals get
the most up-to-date evidence about various conditions and illnesses (Melnyk, 2011). The
author cited qualitative research in this study stating that it helped
