Studying of the Hypothetical Patient with utilization of EBP
In this assignment you are asked to develop an answerable clinical question for a
hypothetical patient and critically appraise the relevant research literature. This includes
¾ Describing the patient’s case in a holistic manner;
¾ Formulating an answerable clinical question;
¾ Selecting evidence resources and executing a search strategy;
¾ Describing the evidence summary;
¾ Explaining how you would examine the evidence for validity, importance and
applicability to your patient.
You are also required to analyse the use of EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE, and its limitations, as applicable to the chosen clinical problem and your study. If the chosen clinical problem is an existing gap in the literature, you are expected to explore why that is the case and whether EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICEis likely to be/was of benefit.
An example patient is given below. The type of patient you select will depend upon your
clinical experience and questions of relevance to your setting.
Betty is a 74 year old woman with a history of hypertension since the age of 40. She weighs
162 kg and stands at 170 cm tall. Betty has struggled with attempts to lose weight all her life
and has long since given up on her attempts. She has remained active and relatively fit until
the last 2 years.
Her hypertension was previously well controlled with metoprolol 100 mg bd but in the past 2
years has frequently been raised to over 160/90 on several occasions. In the last year she
has had recurrent chest and left arm pain with no evidence of ischaemia found as each time
she has had normal ECGs and troponin levels. In the past year she has also noticed more.
NOTE, this assignment is for paramedic student (master level).
The example above is just to show how create your own example

Title
Studying of the Hypothetical Patient with utilization of EBP
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is basically an approach to clinical problems which follows some basic principles which include the use of research studies to make practical decisions. Also, the studies should be selected and thoroughly interpreted in accordance to some characteristics of EBP. Generally, quantitative studies are considered as opposed to qualitative and theoretical studies. The quantitative studies are more capable of giving directions and solutions to real life problems that need to be attended to. EBP will integrate…………………
