In your first course in the program, you are asked to locate a policy or procedure at your worksite or clinical site. Answer the following questions:

What is the last revision date of the policy or procedure?

What evidence is documented to support the policy or procedure?

How does the evidence avoid “the way we have always done it” method of nursing care?

If you are responsible for updating this policy or procedure, what steps would you take to use the most current evidence-based literature?

Search online for clinical practice guidelines applicable to your EBP topic. Some of the sites you may find are as follows:
