5. Discuss whether or not you apply the article’s finding to your nursing practice. Did the level of evidence affect your decision? This discussion would sound like this: “I would use this research in my practice because this article was a systematic review of 15 randomized control trials (RCT). Randomized control trials generate the strongest evidence without bias. The evidence is made even stronger because 12 out of the 15 RCT in this systematic review support the use of EMLA cream. Because I work on the peds floor, I would choose the EMLA over the Dermoplast, but those in the emergency department where there is no time to wait may choose to use the spray because it does not take as long to become effective.”
