The purpose of the assignment is to further your understanding of the importance of evidence based practice (EBP) by identifying a clinical nursing problem/question you observed in practice, searching the literature for evidence related to the problem/question, and then creating a powerpoint presentation. Using the information gathered, as you searched the data bases for evidence related to solving the problem/answering the question, you will develop the presentation describing the problem/question and the overview/discussion.
