Myth vs. Reality
AACN NEWS Research Corner
Editor's note: Welcome to the "Research Corner," an AACN News feature devoted to research and evidence-based practice issues. These articles, many of which will be written by members of AACN's 2000-01 Research Work Group, are designed to help nurses move away from ritual in practice. The "Myth vs. Reality" that is introduced here will not only address commonly held practice myths, but also provide data to support evidence-based practice.
