    This document discusses databases and research for nurses. It describes how nurses can use databases like CINAHL and journals to research a patient's diagnosis of hypertension. Five specific databases are listed that provide evidence on hypertension including its causes, treatment, and prevention. Effective communication strategies like verbal, written, and social media are also encouraged to help nurses research diagnoses and resources.

    As a baccalaureate-prepared nurse supervising clinical staff nurses, I would assist the nurse

    in identifying evidence to assist in analyzing the patient’s diagnosis. The selected sources are

    crucial as they will assist nurses in acquiring essential online information about hypertension

    diagnosis. Likewise, these sources will enhance health promotion as the nurse will acquire more

    details about hypertension causes, effects, treatment, and prevention. These sources are more

    detailed and can help a newly hired nurse engage effectively in evidence based practices (EBP).

    These sources of evidence will allow nurses to offer safe, patient-centered care, and enhance

    patient outcomes. 

    In the hospital facility, the essential places to complete research involve the Capella

    University library, journals, and websites, which effectively offer pertinent information for

    diagnosing a specific health care setting. In the clinical setting, one needs to go to the Capella

    University library using the hospital website. Later, log in your details to access the library page.

    On the library home page, select database, and then click databases A to Z. In all subjects, drop-

    down menu, select nursing and health sciences. Choose a database from the list, including

    healthcare administration database for health administration, best bets, and CINAHL complete

    for nursing. Lastly, click on the database of your choice and read more about it. Likewise, you

    can access other medical sources from any website or journal. 

    For instance, in this scenario, the patient’s diagnosis is hypertension. Nurses can use useful

    databases that are relevant to EBP and assist them in understanding this aspect. The online

    databases that can be used to research evidence on hypertension disease include:

    Effective communication strategies such as verbal, visual, and non-verbal encourage nurses

    to research the diagnosis and ways to access the resources. Nurses can use verbal communication

    strategies of written and oral form to find the courage to research a diagnosis. Nurses can use

    written strategies such as e-mail, chat, and text to inquire about a diagnosis. Likewise, they can

    use oral means such as phone calls and face-to-face conversation to acquire a diagnosis. The

    nurses can use non-verbal communication techniques such as body language access resources.

    Additionally, nurses can use social media, conferences, presentations, and nurse team gatherings

    to encourage them to research a diagnosis.
