incidence of urinary tractinfections on the older adult
care unit?
ANS: D
Evidence-based practice (EBP) questions tend to arise from two sources:
recurrent problemsor new knowledge. In the correct option, the increase
in urinary tract infections indicates a trend or recurring problem in a
specific group of patients. The other questions are general information
questions, not based on what is happening in a specific area or to a group
of specific patients in an area or relating to an observed trend.

food preparation for a patient with impaired sight.
