Critiquing and using nursing research: guidelines for the critical care nurse.
This article focuses on a concern that practicing nurses are expected to use nursing research but are not thoroughly prepared to meet this expectation. This concern is addressed by proposing: (1) a guideline for research critique that is designed to bridge baccalaureate education and nursing practice and (2) a unique description of research utilization that may be realistically accomplished by practicing nurses.
