In the 1800s, Florence Nightingale changed her concepts of
disease prevention and promotion of health when she observed
patients with and without the advantage of sanitation measures
during their care. She concluded that patients situated in
well-ventilated rooms and treated with clean equipment and
supplies, such as fresh linens and dressings, healed faster and had
fewer complications. Washing hands resulted in a decrease in
patient deaths. This is an example of an early informal randomized
controlled trial that provided objective evidence to support a
change in best practice for nurses to improve patient outcomes.
After reading the above passage, describe how the actions and
informal evidence-based research conducted by Florence Nightingale
has changed the way nursing is provided today.
Describe how evidence-based practice (EBP) impacts
accountability, clinical decision making, health, wellness, and
illness, legal issues, professional behaviors, and quality
improvement.
