Evidence-based practice (EBP) provides the research and information of how to deliver the best patient care, and can be integrated into the delivery of nursing care. Prevention of ventilator-acquired pneumonia (VAP) in ventilated patients in the intensive care unit is just one example of how evidence-based practice is being implemented in nursing care. Evidence-Based Practice Dr. David Sackett, a pioneer of evidence-based practice, best describes it as “the conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of the individual patient” (Troseth, 2009). This involves the integration of clinical experience, the values of the individual patient, and the best evidence-based research (Schardt, 2010). Implementing EBP in nursing care establishes who they are, what they do, and what effect they have on patient outcomes (Overholt, 2004).
Although it is the parents or guardians decision to give consent it must be signed before any child can participate in any studies or research. Informed consent is when all risks and benefits have been fully explained and any questions should be answered before any consent is established.

The Mental Capacity Act 2005 also states that a blanket decision cannot be made about a person’s capacity and that the assessment should be decision specific. E.g. you cannot say that a person “cannot decide anything” for themselves, instead make an assessment for every decision, for instance, one assessment for medical intervention and another for moving Assessing

Basically it helps us to see if they are genuine on their commitment to quitting, and that they are willing to go through a rigorous program. Be truthful, honest, and give their all to the program. We would also make them read, and fill out a confidentiality sheet. This states that whatever they talk, hear, and see while in treatment is for their benefit only, and not to say to anyone while on the outside. If these terms were to be breached that they would find themselves kicked out of the program, and having to pay the full amount.
This includes administering medication, undertaking venepuncture, recording ECG’s, siting intravenous cannulea, removing venflons, leading counselling sessions, making decisions about wound dressings and when patients will be seen in A&E departments’.

From my own knowledge and understanding, if all carers, whether that be paid, or unpaid, were to be given set boundaries to follow, and were given the correct training for the specific role in which they play, it would make the job role a lot easier, and therefore less room for any mistakes to be made.
