Unlike more expensive, weighty textbooks on the theories, Johns Hopkins Nursing Evidence Based Practice: Models and Guidelines provides practical guidelines on the model with exemplars, a question development tool, evidence rating scale, project management, appraisal forms, and evidence summary documents, this book helps nurses not only understand the theory, but also put it into action. The new edition includes expanded and improved tools and forms including additional guidelines for individual appraisals, and both research and non-research-based evidence. Authors will improve the strength and quality of the section on systematic reviews. It is both a textbook for students and a handbook for nurses in practice. The new edition includes 25% revision throughout the entire book to incorporate health care reform and the Institute of Medicine's The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health Care report with drastic updates and changes to the exemplars and appendices chapters.
