Assignment Problem: Patients and their personal values and preferences are considered in evidence-based practice. But, to be successful at evidence-based practice implementation, you must consider the themes that influence patient consultations. Review the skills required for evidence-based shared decision-making. Consider the elements that enable patient participation in medical decision-making
Discussion Prompts:
Q1. In your opinion, how can patient participation go beyond autonomy and informed consent?
Q2. As a nurse, how will you facilitate a conversation with the patient/family regarding medical care decisions?
Q3. Name one action you could take if the patient's preference differs from the evidence-based recommended intervention, and explain why.
