AB The  second  element  of  evidence  based  practice  is  fully  respecting  and  integrating  our  patients'  values  and  circumstances  into  our  collaborative  decision  making.  We  bring  our  expertise  as  clinicians  (Section  I)  and  our  knowledge  and  appraisal  of  the  available  evidence  (Section  III)  to  working  with  our  patients  to  make  these  clinical  decisions.  Patients  and  their  families  bring  their  own  preferences  and  choices.  These  preferences  and  choices  are  based  on  cultural  norms,  personal  attitudes  and  beliefs,  and  prior  knowledge  (patient  values);  and  on  their  own  situations  related  to  the  location  of  care  and  the  resources  available  and  needed  to  provide  care  (patient  circumstances).  This  element  of  evidence  based  practice  is  often  underrepresented  in  the  literature.  We  regard  it  as  critically  important  in  making  evidence  based  practice  all  that  it  can  and  should  be.
