EBP in community-oriented nursing challenges nurses to integrate outcomes of the best evidence into their clinical practice.Current research findings will explicate evidence of most successful interventions.(Randomized controlled trials are the gold standard of research for EBP.)Protocols and opinions often reflect tradition rather than the most current scientific evidence.Although many nursing journals are peer reviewed,many are not and,even if peer reviewed,many are not research based or focused on scientific evidence.
