Summary "This book strips the concept of evidence-based practice back to basics using deconstructive analysis, so that readers can move towards a clearer understanding of it. The practitioner is guided through a number of case studies in which the authors examine how the concept of evidence-based practice has been used in a variety of clinical settings. The book is divided into three parts, each providing a deconstruction of key texts related to evidence-based practice, weaving together contemporary themes in healthcare research." "Deconstructing Evidence-Based Practice is essential reading for nurses and other health practitioners who need to understand more about evidence-based practice and who want to learn methods of critical thinking that will be invaluable in judiciously informing their practice."--BOOK JACKET
