Explain How Evidence-Based Practice Is Applied In Your Practice Setting
Discuss how evidence-based practice is applied in your practice setting and describe the desired patient outcome achieved through this approach.
I worked for a dialysis clinic where I did acute and chronic hemodialysis. I preformed treatment in the hospital and in the clinic. Almost all acute patients had central lines and some of the chronic patients did as well due to fistulas and grafts occluding or getting infected or etc. Unfortunately evidence shows hemodialysis is the most common factor for contributing to bacteremia in patients. That is why fistulas and grafts are preferred over catheters in patients with CRF. Evidence based recommendations were given to us for preventing infections and decrease the number of patient with catheters.
