Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals: Model & Guidelines, Fifth Edition

Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice for Nurses and Healthcare Professionals has proven to be one of the most foundational books on EBP in nursing and healthcare. Building on the strength of previous versions, the fifth edition is fully revised to present the updated Johns Hopkins Evidence-Based Practice (JHEBP) model representing some of the biggest changes to date.
