For this discussion, you will be
defining research in nursing and evidence-based practice in nursing.
Along with your definitions, provide one example of each. Provide a
sample research question and a sample clinical question. You may use
questions you found in reviewing the literature as a guide, but may not
use them as your own example. You must provide an original example of a
research question and clinical question. Examples from the readings
cannot be used as the example for clinical/research questions.

Your initial post must be posted
before you can view and respond to colleagues, must contain minimum of
two (2) references, in addition to examples from your personal
experiences to augment the topic. The goal is to make your post
interesting and engaging so others will want to read/respond to it.
Synthesize and summarize from your resources in order to avoid the use
of direct quotes, which can often be dry and boring. No direct quotes
are allowed in the discussion board posts.
