MODULE 1

DQ 1

What is the difference between research- and evidence-based practice projects? Provide an example of each one and the reason for the difference. Why should nurses be interested in learning about EBP? And how can EBP change the way you practice as a professional nurse?

DQ 2

There are many roles in nursing but how would a nurse practitioner and a nurse manager differ about how they use and incorporate EBP in their areas of practice?

What paradigm does the nurse leader have that the nurse practitioner may not have?  Why is the focus of the nurse Practioner so different and is that good or bad?
