There are many areas where evidence based practice has improved the patient outcomes. The two main areas in nursing practice are:

Infection control: Nurses play an important role in prevention of infection which includes keeping the healthcare facility clean, wearing personal protective clothing, using barrier precautions and performing proper hand hygiene.
Oxygen use for COPD patient: Some of them believe that giving unnecessary oxygen will cause serious problems like hypercarbia, acidosis and even death. But evidence based studies show that by giving oxygen the patient can be protected from getting hypoxia and organ failure and it will improve the quality of life and patient may live longer.

The two studies which shows impact on patient care are:

Infection control in acute care facility: evidence based patient safety - Lindsay E Nicollein
Oxygen therapy in acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - Simon, Jadwiga.

Identify one practice that has changed in nursing. Then discuss how the evidence (nursing or medical research) supported this change and its impact on patient health outcomes or nurse health outcomes. Example practices include: compression-breath ratio change in CPR (from 15:2 to 30:2), saline lock instead of heparin lock for intravenous catheters, reduction in restraints (chemical and physical) to prevent falls in older adults.
