As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse, you will be responsible for locating and identifying credible and scholarly resources to incorporate the best available evidence for the purposes of enhancing clinical reasoning and judgement skills. When reliable and relevant evidence-based findings are utilized, patients, health care systems, and nursing practice outcomes are positively impacted. For this assessment, use the specific diagnosis/health issue you selected for the first assessment.

The purpose of this analysis is to better understand what constitutes credibility of journal articles as well
as websites. The role of the baccalaureate-prepared nurse in incorporating evidence-based research
continues to growth in clinical practice. As quality improvement (QI) measures to reduce safety risks
continue to be emphasized, the need for evidence-based models and evidence-based templates is
growing. This type of systematic approach to incorporating evidence-based findings allows nurses to
make clinical and operational decisions based upon the best available evidence. When the most up-todate evidence-based findings are utilized, patient-centered care improves outcomes and enhances the
patient experience.
Below is a quick review table of several well-known Evidence-Based Practice Models used to guide
exploration:
Evidence-Based Practice Models
Iowa Model of Evidence-Based Practice
Stetler Model
Ottawa Model
PARiHS (Promoting Action on Research Implementation in Health Services) Model
ACE (Academic Center for Evidence-Based Practice) Star Model
ARCC (Advancing Research and Clinical Practice Through Close Collaboration) Mode
John Hopkins Model
KTA (Knowledge-to-Action) Model
Explain the criteria that should be used when determining the credibility of journal articles as well as
websites.
Support your explanations with references to the literature or research articles that describe criteria that
should be used to determine credibility.
Your identification and determination of credibility should be done within the context of your chosen
diagnosis for this assessment. Your initial identification of resources should be of resources that will best
help address the presented diagnosis you selected. Since you are locating resources to help provide
evidence-based care for the diagnosis/health care issue you identified in the first assessment, you may
want to begin your literature and evidence search from the databases that were identified.
