Part 1
Patients and their personal values and preferences are considered in evidence-based practice. But, to be successful at evidence-based practice implementation, you must consider the themes that influence patient consultations. Review the skills required for evidence-based shared decision-making (Box 12.1 in Chapter 12 of the textbook). Consider the elements that enable patient participation in medical decision-making (Box 12.2 in Chapter 12 of the textbook).
Then, write a 200–250 word initial post explaining the role of shared decision-making with evidence-based practice and address the following discussion prompts. Respond to at least two of your peers’ posts.
Discussion PromptsIn your opinion, how can patient participation go beyond autonomy and informed consent?
As a nurse, how will you facilitate a conversation with the patient/family regarding medical care decisions?
Name one action you could take if the patient’s preference differs from the evidence-based recommended intervention, and explain why.
Part 2
Create a Microsoft Word document and answer the following questions based on this module’s readings. Your response should be a minimum of 3–5 sentences in length, original (in your own words), and use professional writing.
What is the role of patient-centered care and patient preferences in evidence-based practice?
Do you think the weight that patient preferences take in evidence-based clinical decision-making should be equal to the evidence?
What role does the level of evidence—i.e., the confidence in the evidence—play in determining the interplay between the evidence and patient preferences?
What is nursing’s role in negotiating patient-centered, evidence-based clinical decisions?
Submit your Microsoft Word document with the questions clearly listed and answered.
Each response should be a minimum of 3–5 sentences, clear, concise, and use correct grammar. All of the questions MUST be answered in your document.
