The quality of patient care relies upon research done using evidence-based practice and putting that research to use in the healthcare setting. Evidence-based practice (EBP) is fundamental to clinical effectiveness and patient safety (Horntvedt et al. 2018) and it is imperative for providers to understand how to utilize this tool to ensure the highest quality of care. Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, such as preeclampsia, are challenging for the nurse because they can have a large range in their severity and can mean many different implications for both mother and baby. If preeclampsia is not treated correctly using EBP techniques there can be dire consequences for both mother and baby.
