Evidence-Based Care Sheets

CINAHL and Nursing Reference Center both offer Evidence-Based Care Sheets providing overviews for a variety of health issues. These care sheets are written for healthcare providers. Locate these by clicking on "Evidence-Based Care Sheets" on the top bar. An alphabetical list of topics appears, click the box to the left of your topic, then near the top of the screen, click the Search button (not the Browse button).

Using CINAHL for Nursing Care Plan Articles

Tips for using CINAHL:

  • Use either of these CINAHL Headings: Nursing Care Plans or Patient Care Plans
  • Do an Author search for articles written by a specific author
  • To narrow down your search, combine one subject heading with another subject heading

CINAHL tutorials are available to assist you with basic searching, advanced searching, or searching with CINAHL subject headings.
