agreed.  This barely readable article (and its companion essay, Evidence-based practice, which probably ought to share its fate) seems to go on and on about nothing:''"Registered Nurses are expected to access, appraise, and incorporate research evidence into their professional judgment and decision-making as well as to consider preferences and values of their patient population." Associate degree graduates will demonstrate an awareness of the value or relevance of research in nursing. Registered nurses help identify problem areas in nursing practice within an established structured format, assist in data-collection activities, and , in conjunction with the professional nurse, appropriately use research findings in practice (Geri LoBiondo-Wood, Judith Haber pg.9) Thus, incorporating EBP into their nursing careers.''Text like this is typical of the elaborately uninformative prose generated by academic study of the human skill sets that aren't really well suited for the scholastic methods of academia.  The entire passage is an exercise in tautology (rhetoric)|rhetorical tautology, and contains far more words than ideas.  Did anybody imagine that nurses ignore evidence, or the "preferences and values of their patient population?"  Are we any better informed after someone told us so?I call |bollocks on this stuff.  No amount of editing could ever make this baroque but meaningless mass into an encyclopedia article. I also suspect that this text involves someone seeking to generate buzz for a buzzword, and that also makes it a |unestablished neologism and possibly |promotional in intent
