MULTIPLE CHOICE f
1. A nursing educator is explaining how the best clinicalpractices are determined. Which
f f f f f f f f f f f f
statement best explains the purpose of evidence-based practice?
f f f f f f f f
a. It ensures that allpatients receive holistic care.
f f f f f f f
b. It provides a definite reason for providing care in a specific manner.
f f f f f f f f f f f
c. It prevents errors when care is being delivered.
f f f f f f f
d. It guarantees that care delivered is based on research.
f f f f f f f f
ANS: B f
Evidence-based practice is the use of the current best evidence in making patient care decisions. f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
It applies to alltypes ofhealthcare professionals. Currentlythere is no method that can ensure that
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
all patients receive holistic care, that all errors can be prevented, or that a guarantee exists that
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
care given is based on research.

2. Whichquestion is a problem-focused trigger for initiating the evidence-based practice method in
f f f f f f f f f f f f
nursing care?
f f
a. What is known about reduction ofurinarytract infections in the older adult with
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
diabetes? f
b. Howcan chronic pain best be described when the patient is nonverbal?
f f f f f f f f f f f
c. How long can an IV catheter remain in place in a patient with obesity?
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
d. What measures can the nurse take to reduce the rising incidence ofurinarytract
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
infections on the older adult care unit?
f f f f f f f
ANS: D f
Evidence-based practice (EBP) questions tend to arise fromtwo sources: recurrent problems or f f f f f f f f f f f f
new knowledge. In the correct option, the increase in urinary tract infections indicates a trend or
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
recurring problem in a specific group of patients. The other questions are general information
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
questions, not based on what is happening in a specific area or to a group of specific patients in
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
an area or relating to an observed trend.

f f f f f f f f
a. Intervention of interest f f
b. Incorporation of concepts f f
c. Implementation by nursing f f

ANS: A f
The ―I‖ stands for intervention of interest, meaning what the nurse hopes to use in practice and

6. Whichdoes the nurse researcher identify as the strongest type ofresearch?
f f f f f f f f f f f
a. Randomized controlled trials f f
b. Aqualitative study
f f
c. Adescriptive study
f f
d. Acase controlled study
f f f
ANS: A f
Individual randomized controlled trials are close to the top of the research pyramid. Only
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
systematic reviews and meta-analyses are higher. This type of study tests an intervention
f f f f f f f f f f f f f
against the usual standard of care. The other types of studies are useful but do not give the same
f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f f
type of information as a randomized controlled trial provides.
