Master’s-prepared advanced practice nurses are responsible for evaluating and implementing evidence-based approaches that yield best practices for nursing in all healthcare and healthcare- related settings (NLN, 2012). Evidence-based practice in its traditional form focused on balancing the best evidence with clinician expertise and patient preferences to improve patient outcomes (Loversidge, 2016). In the current healthcare environment, care occurs in many different settings: direct and indirect. With advanced education, the role of the nurse continues to expand beyond the clinical setting to include many different practice areas, including academic, administrative, informatics, and political. This means that evidence-based practice is applied to all areas of healthcare and healthcare- related practice settings.
