MULTIPLE CHOICE l
1. Evidence-based practice is a problem-solving approach to making decisions about patient l l l l l l l l l l
care that is grounded in:
l l l l l
a. the latest information found in textbooks.
l l l l l
b. systematically conducted research studies. l l l
c. tradition in clinical practice. l l l
d. quality improvement and risk-management data. l l l l
ANS: B l l
The best evidence comes from well-designed, systematically conducted research studies
l l l l l l l l l
described in scientific journals. Portions of a textbook often become outdated by the time it is
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
published. Many health care settings do not have a process to help staff adopt new evidence in
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
practice, and nurses in practice settings lack easy access to risk-management data, relying
l l l l l l l l l l l l l
instead on tradition or convenience. Some sources of evidence do not originate from research.
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
These include quality improvement and risk-management data; infection control data;
l l l l l l l l l l
retrospective or concurrent chart reviews; and clinicians’ expertise. Although non–research-
l l l l l l l l l l
based evidence is often very valuable, it is important that you learn to rely more on research-
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
based evidence. l

2. When evidence-based practice is used, patient care will be:
l l l l l l l l
a. standardized for all. l l
b. unhampered by patient culture. l l l
c. variable according to the situation. l l l l
d. safe from the hazards of critical thinking.
l l l l l l
ANS: C l l
Using your clinical expertise and considering patients’ cultures, values, and preferences
l l l l l l l l l l
ensures that you will apply available evidence in practice ethically and appropriately. Even
l l l l l l l l l l l l l
when you use the best evidence available, application and outcomes will differ; as a nurse,
l l l l l l l l l l l l l l l
you will develop critical thinking skills to determine whether evidence is relevant and
l l l l l l l l l l l l l
appropriate.
