The fourth step is evidence application. A model of evidence based practice is used to apply research findings in nursing practice. Evidence application involves the integration of relevant evidence with clinical experience. Evidence that has been obtained must be relevant and valid research to be applied to the research question. The effectiveness of a therapeutic intervention, based on the evidence, is determined by assessing the internal validity and external validity of a given study. The evidence is applied by making a practice decision that integrates evidence, clinical expertise, and patient factors and preferences.
