1. Select an article on a research topic for your practice area and complete the critique worksheet in Table 14-1. After completing the critique of the article, give the article a “level of evidence” rating and a “strength of evidence” score. Would you change your practice based on the information in this article?
2. You are a manager on a medical–surgical acute care unit. Your facility is moving toward an EBP format. Each unit has been charged with establishing a process for involving the staff nurses in this transformation. You have decided to implement a journal club for staff nurses to review and critique research articles for potential inclusion in evidence-based policies. What would you set as the ground rules for the implementation of this journal club activity?
