Critical Appraisal Is Step Three
Captions available
The idea
Critical appraisal is step three of the EBP process: judging the evidence a search returned before any of it is used.
In practice
A search yielding fifteen studies, none of them yet relied on for anything.
Where people slip
A search result is not evidence yet. Retrieval and appraisal are separate steps, and collapsing them is how unappraised studies enter practice.
