Page 1: 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.

Compare and contrast the primary care NP role with other nursing advanced practice roles and the role of physician assistants. What are the similarities among the roles and what are the differences? What are some growing areas of nursing specialization in nursing, and how do you see this continuing to evolve in the future? For example, informatics and disaster nursing are a growing area of nursing specialization that grow from specific needs in healthcare. What do you envision when you consider the roles of nursing advanced practice in the future?
