Evidence Based Care Sheets & Quick Lessons
What’s the Difference?
Quick Lessons
Documents that provide nurses with information they need about diseases
– including a description of the disease, its signs and symptoms, typical
tests the clinician will order to diagnose it – or measure progress in
treating it – and the interventions nurses will likely be involved in while
the patient is in his/her care.
Evidence-Based Care Sheets
Documents that provide evidence about aspects of a disease or a
condition in terms of what we know about it and what we can do about it.
The evidence is coded as to its strength/source so the reader can evaluate
it and determine its applicability to his/her practice.

“I was specifically looking for a better drug reference
tool for our nurses. I wanted them to have everything
they need but not a lot of what they don’t need. After
our initial purchase we bought more copies because
our surgical nurses wanted Essentials too.”
