1. Evidence-based practice is a problem- solving approach to making decisions aboutypatientycare that isygrounded in: a. the latest information found in textbooks. b. systematically conducted research studies. c. tradition in clinical practice. d. quality improvement and risk-management data. ANS: B The best evidence comes from well- designed, systematically conducted research studies described inyscientific journals. Portions of a textbook often become outdated by the time it is published. Many health care settings do not have ayprocess to help staff adopt new evidence in practice, and nurses in practice settings lacky easy accessyto risk- management data, relying insteadyon tradition or convenience. Some sources of evidence do no t originate fromyresearch. These include quality improvement and risk- management data; infectionycontrol data; retrospective or concurrent chart reviews; and clinicia ns‘ expertise. Although non–research- based evidence is often very valuable, it is important that youylearn to rely more on research- based evidence.
