Research NURS 8006 Study Guide
Exam Questions With Correct Marking
Scheme
/.Evidence Based Practice - Answer-✅the use of the best evidence in making patient
care decisions, and such evidence typically comes from research conducted by nurses
and other health care professionals
starts with a clinical questions
/.Research Utilization - Answer-✅the use of findings from disciplined research in a
practical application that is unrelated to the original research. In research utilization, the
emphasis is on translating research findings into real-world applications. The starting
point in research utilization is new evidence or a research-based innovation.

/.Intervention EBP - Answer-✅type of EBP
What therapy or intervention will result in better health outcomes or prevent an adverse
health outcome?
-In_________(Population) what is the effect of _________ (Intervention) on ________
(Outcome)?

________ (Comparative/alternative intervention), on ___________ (Outcome)?
/.Diagnosis/assessment EBP - Answer-✅type of EBP
What test or assessment procedure will yield accurate diagnoses or assessments of
critical patient conditions and outcomes?
-For _________ (Population), does ________ (Identifying tool/procedure) yield accurate
and appropriate diagnostic/assessment information about __________ (outcome)?
-For _________ (Population), does _________(Identifying tool/procedure) yield more
accurate or more appropriate diagnostic/assessment information than _________
(comparative tool/procedure) about ________ (Outcome)?
/.Prognosis EBP - Answer-✅type of EBP
, Does exposure to a disease or health problem increase the risk of subsequent adverse
consequences?
-For ________ (Population), does _________ (Exposure to disease or condition)
increase the risk of ________ (Outcome)?
-For __________ (Population), does __________ (Exposure to disease or condition),
relative to ________ (Comparative disease or condition) increase the risk of ________
(Outcome)?
/.Etiology/harm EBP - Answer-✅type of EBP
What factors cause or contribute to the risk of a health problem or disease?

compared to ________ (Comparative influence, exposure or condition) in (Population)?
/.Description EBP (prevelance/incidence) - Answer-✅type of EBP
-In ________ (Population), how prevalent is _________ (Outcome)?
-Explicit comparisons are not typical, except to compare different populations

circumstance)? ) OR What is the process by which _________ (Population) cope with,
adapt to, or live with _________ (condition, illness, circumstance)?
/.components of PICOt - Answer-✅P patient population
I intervention, issue of interest
C comparison
O outcome
t time
/.evidence quality - Answer-✅Are findings valid? Study methods sufficiently rigorous
that the evidence can be believed? Draw conclusions about body of evidence taken as
a whole
/.Magnitude of effects - Answer-✅Are findings clinically important? How powerful are
effects?
/.Precision of estimates - Answer-✅relevant when evidence is quantitative, how precise
the estimate of effect is. Research results provide only an estimate of effects and it may
