The first step toward implementing evidence-based practice in nursing is recognizing the current status of one's own practice and believing that care based on the best evidence will lead to improved client outcomes.After the nurse has assessed his/her own practice,and accessed EBP resources,the next steps would be to talk with administration and implement EBP into practice.Without self-reflection first,the nurse would be ineffective in implementing EBP.The challenge for the clinician is how to access the evidence and integrate it into practice,thus moving beyond practice based solely on experience,tradition,or ritual.
