Evidence-Based Practice / Unit 3   EBP 0345 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Choose the Databases Before Searching

Captions available

The idea

The third search strategy is to determine which databases will be searched, matching the source to the question.

In practice

A nursing question searched in a nursing database and a medical one, at minimum.

Where people slip

Database choice is a decision that shapes the result and should be recorded as one, not made by whichever login happened to work.
