On January 25, 1905, at the Premier Mine in Pretoria, South Africa, a 3,106-carat diamond is discovered during a routine inspection by the mineâs superintendent. Weighing 1.33 pounds, and christened the âCullinan,â it was the largest diamond ever found.
Evidence-based practice. Evidence-based practice (EBP) is an interdisciplinary approach to clinical practice that has been gaining ground following its formal introduction in 1992.
As Nightingale showed, nursing had to be more than just following traditions, and also more than just following physicians' orders! This led to evidence-based practice (EBP), which is a problem-solving strategy for the delivery of safe, quality patient care. When nurses use evidence to deliver care, it takes into account the patient's wishes, the nurses' expertise and current research to decide what the best course of action is for each patient.
