Basics of evidence-based practice. Part 2: Unscrambling the terms and processes.

Basic processes include original research, evidence summary, translation, implementation, and evaluation. Together with a glossary of basic terms in evidence-based practice (EBP), these provide a basis for nurses to adopt evidence-based practice into clinical decision making.
