Summary
The Society of Pediatric Nurses (SPN) outlines evidence-based practice (EBP) fundamentals. This position statement provides SPN
Area of Science:
- Nursing
- Evidence-Based Practice
Background:
- The Society of Pediatric Nurses (SPN) recognizes the critical role of evidence-based practice (EBP) in pediatric nursing.
- A need exists to clarify EBP principles and SPN's stance for consistent application.
Purpose of the Study:
- To present a position statement from the SPN regarding evidence-based practice.
- To define EBP and outline SPN's recommendations for its implementation in pediatric nursing.
Main Methods:
- Development of a position statement by the SPN Clinical Practice Committee.
- Review and synthesis of current knowledge on EBP relevant to pediatric nursing.
Main Results:
- The document provides a foundational overview of evidence-based practice.
- It details specific recommendations from the SPN for integrating EBP into pediatric nursing.
Conclusions:
- The SPN supports and advocates for the consistent use of evidence-based practice in pediatric nursing.
- This statement serves as a guide for nurses to enhance patient care through EBP.

01:23Methods of Documentation V: CBE
Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...

01:29Nursing Interventions II: Selecting and Classifying the Nursing Interventions
Creating and executing a nursing diagnosis helps nurses plan care and guide patient, family, and community interventions. They are developed based on a patient's physical evaluation and support measuring the outcomes. It is not recommended to select random interventions throughout the planning process. Instead, consider the following six essential factors when choosing interventions:
01:18The Scientific Method in Nursing Process
The scientific method provides the foundation for any research. It is the most reliable and objective of all forms of gaining knowledge and guides in applying research-based evidence in practice and conducting future research.
When using research findings to change practice, one must understand the process used to guide a study. The scientific method is a systematic, step-by-step process that supports the data's validity, reliability, and generalizability. As a result, findings can be safely...

01:11Guidelines for Writing Outcome
When developing expected outcomes for a patient care plan, the nurse should adhere to the following recommendations:
Patient outcomes reflect the patient's response to the goal rather than what the nurse aims to achieve. Terminology should be observable and measurable to avoid the reader's interpretation. The desired outcome should be realistic and achievable in the designated care timeframe. Expected outcomes should align with adjunctive therapies. The outcome should enhance care evaluation by...

01:30Current Trends in Nursing II
Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...
