NR 451 Week 1 Discussion Types of Nursing Models and Frameworks of EBP
Types of Nursing Models and Frameworks of EBP
What are some of the models and frameworks of EBP currently in use? How does the strength of the evidence determine translation into practice? Why is it important to integrate both evidence-based practice and patient and family preferences? What is the nurse’s responsibility when EBP and patient and family practice do not match?
I have always been one of those people who constantly ask why. I feel that knowing why I do a skill or why I give a medication is important. More importantly, I hate not having a consistent and steadfast reason when a patient asks why I am doing a skill a certain way or giving a medication. After reading your post, I was inspired to research the case of Lorenza Somera. Somera was a new graduate nurse in Manila in the Philippines. The doctor ordered cocaine injections for a tonsillectomy patient. Somera followed those orders and subsequently, the patient died. The order should have been for procaine injections. The courts found the doctor not guilty and ruled that Somera should have questioned the physician’s order. The courts charged Somera with manslaughter. It is appalling that a new graduate nurse was charged with manslaughter for following a physician’s order. Nurses now are taught to question any orders that do not feel comfortable executing. In 1929, that was not the case. Nurses at that time were educated that allegiance to the doctor meant that the patient was better served. “The Somera case sparked worldwide protests from nurses and served to push nursing toward independent practice and accountability” (Mason, et. al., 2016, p. 31).
After the Somera case, nurses began to continuously pursue new guidelines for practice. Autonomy and patient advocacy were the forefront for this protest. Even with this push for independence and patient advocacy, it wasn’t until 1978 that the ANA code of Ethics announced that “In the role of client advocate, the nurse must be alert to and take appropriate action regarding any instances of incompetent, unethical or illegal practice(s) by any member of the health care team or the health care system itself, or any action on the part of others that is prejudicial to the client’s best interest” (Mason, et. al., 2016, p. 32).
The Somera case brought to light many issues regarding the patriarchal relationship between nurses and doctors. It is unfortunate that Somera was charged with manslaughter but, the circumstances surrounding Somera’s involvement brought about changes that were drastically needed in nursing. If this case would have never happened, where would we be now? We would not be discussing evidence-based practice from a nursing standpoint.
One of the most common ways that nurses utilize evidence-based practice is with patient safety. Per Titler, “Evidence-based practice (EBP) is the conscientious and judicious use of current best evidence in conjunction with clinical expertise and patient values to guide health care decisions” (Titler, 2008, p. 113). It is vital to involve the patient and his / her family in the plan of care for the best conceivable outcomes. The patient must be aware of all possible choices and options related to care before deciding which route to take.
To choose the best possible evidence-based practice for my unit, I should do more research. I must read the articles because none seem to relate to an adult only ED except maybe hospital readmissions. I look forward to learning new information as I research the topics.
