HHNs and all Registered Nurses must be continuously informed about best practices and evidence to inform quality care. The process of ascertaining current evidence requires skill in accessing and reading nursing research. Most nurses who provide direct services are not given specific time for searching and reading the literature. What is the most effective way HHNs can stay abreast of high-quality approaches to care?

a) Critique current practice guidelines and expert panel reviews and reports
b) Read randomized-controlled studies routinely
c) Participate in research projects set up by nurses in academia
d) Formulate a clear clinical question
