My name is Kevin Cray and I have been a nurse for a little over 3 years (graduating in 2009). I currently work in Cardiac ICU/Open Heart Recovery. One of the best examples of doing something that is EBP rather than "just because" is obaining blood cultures. We currently obtain them preferably through a peripheral blood source, clean the area well with chlorhexidine (as well as the bottle tops), mark out bottles with the amount of blood to obtain, and then draw the blood according to our protocol. This reduces errors as well as accidental contamination.

''Kevin, that is an excellent example of an evidence based procedure. I hope you enjoy the course!''
