This essay focuses on what Evidence Based Practice (EBP) entails in nursing and its significance for patients and health care professionals in practice. In relation to EBP in nursing, a selected practice concerning the management of epilepsy in children and adults will be critically appraised using the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE 2004) guidelines and a research trial (Simister et al 2005) as the main enthuses of this essay. This involves different types of evidence used to inform clinical practice. The different types of ‘evidence’ concerning the management and treatment of epilepsy will be discussed as to how it can inform clinical practice by comparing other similar studies about new and old antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) and, if they too can be reliable in informing clinical practice for people with epilepsy. However, due to the word limit of this essay only one new AED (topirimate) out of seven will be discussed and compared to the older AEDs Soudium Valporate and Carbamazipine.

Reflection requires self-awareness and analysis (Schutz et al, 2004) which will also relate critical thoughts in theory to practice.

Nursing is a practise-based profession, so it is vital that the clinical skills, that are the tools of the grade(Maggie 1999).According to White(2000),‘To enable students to develop their proficiency in clinical skills nurse educators use innovative methods of supplementing the practice placement experience by turning to simulated practice to achieve this’ (2000).
Scott & McSherry (2008) also define evidence based nursing is a process by which nurses make clinical decisions using the best available research evidence, their clinical expertise and patient outcomes. We will also discuss nursing’s simultaneous reliance on and critique of EBP in the context of critical reasoning. There will also be discussion of a study done that examined the effects of integrating evidence based practice into clinical practicum among RN-BSN students and the limitations of evidence based practice and an alternate view of decision making. Lastly we will discuss evidence that challenges the traditional practice regarding injection sites (Cocoman & Murray 2010). According to Guem et al.
