Topic: Theoretical Models used in Evidence-Based Practice

Providing quality nursing care is supported by the use of evidence-based practice (EBP); however, how does a nurse know what the best evidence is? In particular, how can nurses in advanced nursing roles lead by using EBP in their work? Several models have been developed to assist nurses in determining what the best evidence is to guide their practice.

Select one of the theoretical models used to evaluate the evidence for EBP that will fit into your future advanced nursing role. Briefly explain the model, provide rationale for selection of the model, and provide an example of how the model has been used in advanced nursing practice.
