Overview
ENRs facilitate the application of current evidence into every day emergency nursing practice. ENA anticipates that ENRs will make a positive impact on patient care and emergency nursing practice by bridging the gap between practice and currently available evidence. The ENRs were created based on a thorough review and critical analysis of the literature following ENA’s Guidelines for the Development of Evidence-Based Emergency Nursing Resources (Guidelines).
Guidelines for the Development of Evidence-Based Emergency Nursing Resources
The Guidelines outline the approach used to develop ENA’s Emergency Nursing Resources. The Guidelines serve as the foundation for the development of ENRs by ensuring consistency of the evidence-appraisal process and incorporation of current, best available evidence for practice. Offering a systematic approach to the review of literature and making recommendation for emergency nursing practices, the Guidelines may also serve as a resource for others engaged in implementing evidence-based practice in emergency nursing.

| Disclaimer
ENA’s Emergency Nursing Resource (“ENR”) is developed by ENA’s members to provide emergency nurses with evidence-based information to utilize and implement in their care of emergency patients and families. Each ENR focuses on a clinical or practice-based issue, and is the result of a review and analysis of current information believed to be reliable. As such, information and recommendations within a particular ENR reflect the current scientific and clinical knowledge at the time of publication, are only current as of their publication date, and are subject to change without notice as advances emerge.
In addition, variations in practice, which take into account the needs of the individual patient and the resources and limitations unique to the institution, may warrant approaches, treatments and/or procedures that differ from the recommendations outlined in this ENR. Therefore, these recommendations should not be construed as dictating an exclusive course of management, treatment or care, nor does the use of such recommendations guarantee a particular outcome. ENR’s are never intended to displace a practitioner’s best medical judgment based on the clinical circumstances of a particular patient or patient population. ENR’s are published by ENA for educational and informational purposes only, and ENA does not “approve” or “endorse” any specific methods, practices, or sources of information. ENA assumes no liability for any injury and/or damage to persons or property arising out or related to the use of or reliance on an ENR. |
