Tara, the unit manager, is explaining to her colleague her recent project, which involves seeking the most effective approaches to incontinence care, with the intention of adopting evidence-supported approaches on her dementia care unit. Her colleague suggests that translation of research into practice is:

Less important than knowledge-generating research, which is required to advance the nursing profession.

A priority of all healthcare practitioners to improve patient care.

So difficult that it is useless to begin the query in the first place.

Characterized by lack of knowledge about how to use evidence to guide practice.
