Homework: Evidence-Based Practice
An organization's readiness to utilize best evidence for practice is important. Without the support of senior leadership of the organization and nursing leadership, change can be more challenging than it needs to be. Assessing readiness for the use of evidence-based practice (EBP) allows the advanced practice nurse to better understand how to negotiate change with leadership.
For this homework, you will answer survey questions relating to your organization's commitment to and readiness for evidence-based practice.
There are 7 questions about evidence-based practice on the survey. When doing the survey, think about the readiness of your organization for system-wide integration of EBP.
Select the best response that describes the state of EBP for your organization.
