WEEK 14 EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE AND INTERPROFESSIONAL
COLLABORATION IN NURSING QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
What is Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅EBP is a problem-solving approach to
client care that integrates the most accurate scientific evidence with clinical expertise and client values.
What is the first step in the EBP process? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Identify a problem by asking a
focused clinical question.
What does the acronym PICOT stand for? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Population, Intervention,
Comparison, Outcome, and Time.
What does 'Population' refer to in PICOT? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅A group of people experiencing the
same phenomenon or a group of clients with the same medical diagnosis, gender, or age range.
What is meant by 'Intervention' in the PICOT framework? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅A planned action or
treatment aimed at solving the identified problem.
What does 'Comparison' refer to in PICOT? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅The current practice or another
intervention that might address the problem.
What is the 'Outcome' in the PICOT framework? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅The result or outcome that is
being evaluated.
Is the 'Time' element in PICOT always required? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅No, it is optional and describes
how long it will take to obtain the desired outcome.
Where can credible sources for EBP be found? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Through libraries in healthcare
organizations, institutions of higher learning, and professional organizations.
What should be done after searching for credible sources? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Evaluate findings by
reviewing and critiquing the information found.
, What is the purpose of implementing recommendations in EBP? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅To change
clinical interventions based on the evidence gathered.
What factors must be considered when implementing changes in EBP? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Cost of
supplies, time investment, and training needed for staff.
How is the effectiveness of new interventions evaluated? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅By collecting
information to determine if the changes addressed the identified problem.
What is the final step in the EBP process? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Disseminate results to share findings
with others.
What is the definition of nursing research? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅The generation of new knowledge
to advance solutions for healthcare problems and enhance practice.
What are the two main categories of nursing research? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Qualitative and
quantitative research.
What is quantitative research focused on? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Numerical data, counts, or measures
analyzed through statistics.
What does qualitative research seek to understand? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Value-laden issues
through narrative data, such as interviews and dialogue.
What is mixed methods research? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Research that combines qualitative and
quantitative studies to answer research questions.
What is the focus of translational research? - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Determining the most effective
methods to implement EBP across diverse client populations and settings.
Name a reliable source for obtaining evidence-based information. - CORRECT ANSWER✅✅Library
databases such as CINAHL, PubMed, and Ovid Medline.
