PubMed searching for home care clinicians: a guide for success in identifying articles for a literature review.

Learning to use PubMed efficiently will enable home care clinicians striving to provide high-quality care to identify and, in some cases, access the full text of peer-reviewed articles that support evidence-based practice.
