Nursing Theories


The ability to acquire accurate and timely information enhances nursing practice and patient outcomes. Search engines and healthcare/nursing databases operate in different ways, and it is necessary for healthcare professionals to understand how to access and efficiently use both public and professional resources. Because today the general public has greater access to electronic health information, healthcare professionals must be aware of the information their patients are accessing and be proficient at identifying credible sources.
It is also important for healthcare professionals to know how to use professional databases. Nursing practice needs to be based on evidence, and access to healthcare databases assists nurses in identifying best practices. The use of theories from other disciplines also expands the breadth and depth of knowledge available to guide healthcare delivery and nursing practice. CLICK HERE TO ORDER THIS ESSAY!!!!
