The
benefits of evidence based practice are not limited only to the treatment of
patients, but can also be utilized in how to properly communicate and interact
with patients, and can prove vital in establishing connections with them as
well (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2011). For instance, when handling a
patient who is being difficult in their treatment methods, using the best
evidence based practices can give insight into ways to interact with the client
that can lead to more positive breakthroughs in their recovery (Koehn &
Lehman, 2008).
Overall,
evidence and research based practices give nurses the ability to utilize a wide
range of resources to determine which course of action is the correct step to
take in ensuring that their patients receive the best cares possible (Koehn
& Lehman, 2008).
