Summary "Introduction to Nursing Research: Incorporating Evidence-Based Practice teaches pre-licensure nursing students how they can integrate evidence-based practice and research into their daily work against the backdrop of current trends and issues in nursing practice. Safe, effective, quality patient care is simply not achievable without a strong foundation in evidence-based practice, a reality this text makes apparent. Unique in its approach, the current edition combines research, quality improvement, and evidence-based practice together, illuminating core concepts and showing students how to do the research while establishing a foundation that will lead them to evidence-based practice. Measurable objectives, thoughtful applications of evidence-based practice, and quality improvement concepts all play a prominent role in this text, as knowledgeable researchers and academics explore core concepts alongside current research. Case studies and "Thinking Outside the Box" features provide real-world, practical examples for students to consider, and "Red Flags" help students heighten their focus as they appraise and investigate research and evidence"-- Provided by publisher
