Lee P- In nursing, our practice is based on history, theory, and research. We have developed the way we practice from history and theory and rely on research to lead the way in how we practice today and in the future. “Nursing research is systemic inquiry designed to develop trustworthy evidence about issues of importance to nurses and their clients” (Polit & Beck, 2018). The practice of nursing has changed dramatically since I embarked on this career journey in 1995. I feel like when I began this journey most of my practice was based on theory and history but today, it is ever changing and based on research. Nursing is primarily practiced on decisions decided upon by evidence indicating as to what will ultimately prevail the best outcome. “Evidence-based practice is the use of the best evidence in making patient care decisions” (Polit & Beck, 2018). This practice requires the caregiver to keep up to date with current research in order to deliver optimal patient care. Please respond to this discussion post.
