Explain
how research has evolved since the Florence Nightingale era.
Discuss
how research and EBP are different; include how you believe research
supports EBP for nursing.
identify ethical issues that have
impacted the treatment of human subjects used in research studies as well
as examining the importance of research findings in developing evidence-based practice.
Describe one past/historical
unethical breach of research conduct; then, share how you would ensure
