Feedback:
By developing an accumulating body of unique scientific knowledge, it is now possible to predict which nursing interventions are most likely to produce desired outcomes, a process referred to as evidence-based practice (EBP). EBP is possible because of the scientific basis that underlies nursing. Mentoring, maintaining curiosity, and participating in continuing education are beneficial, but these are not direct manifestations of the scientific basis for nursing.
