In order for nurses to provide exceptional patient care they must use evidence-based

practice. By applying well-founded interventions, nurses are able to care for their patients to the

best of their ability in a way that is both safe and patient centered. Alcohol withdrawal syndrome

occurs when a person who is dependent on alcohol decreases consumption or stops drinking. It

usually starts two to six hours after the last drink and progresses over hours to days. Symptoms

can range from mild to severe. Multiple episodes of withdrawal can lead to increased intensity of

each episode. Alcohol withdrawal syndrome can also lead to alcohol withdrawal delirium which

typically involves admission to the ICU followed by sedation, intubation, and mechanical

ventilation. Considering this, healthcare workers should use an evidence-based practice approach

to care for, manage, and assess patients with alcohol withdrawal syndrome (Elliott et al., 2019).

Considering Criteria to Determine Credibility

When determining credibility of resources, certain criteria should be considered. The

CRAAP test allows users to determine the currency, relevance, authority, accuracy and purpose

of the source. The first criteria is currency, meaning that the source must be up to date and no

more than five years old. The second criteria is relevance which asks if the source is relevant to

the subject. The third criteria is accuracy which requires the user to evaluate the truthfulness of

the source. The fourth criteria is authority which requires the user to ensure that the person

writing the source has credentials, knowledge and experience on the subject at hand. The fifth

criteria is purpose which requires the user to determine if the purpose of the source is to inform

or to persuade (Pfeiffer et al., 2020). The criteria could be applied to a specific resource to ensure

credibility. For example, a source about caring for patients in the ICU with AWS written by a

high school student studying anatomy would not be as credible as a source written by a medical
