Quick Lessons Documents that provide nurses with information they need about diseases including a description of the disease, its signs and symptoms, typical tests the clinician will order to diagnose it or measure progress in treating it and the interventions nurses will likely be involved in while the patient is in his/her care. Evidence-Based Care Sheets Documents that provide evidence about aspects of a disease or a condition in terms of what we know about it and what we can do about it. The evidence is coded as to its strength/source so the reader can evaluate it and determine its applicability to his/her practice.
