MULTIPLE CHOICE e




1. Which best describes evidence-based-practice (EBP)?
e e e e



a. A combination of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and the needs and
e e e e e e e e e e e



values of patients.
e e e



b. Adetermination of the factors necessary to control patient responses to care.
e e e e e e e e e e e



c. The development of population care guidelines applicable to all patients.
e e e e e e e e e



d. The utilization of quantitative and qualitative studies to enhance patient outcomes.
e e e e e e e e e e




ANS: A e




Feedback
A Evidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best research evidence e e e e e e e e e e



with clinical expertise and patient needs and values.
e e e e e e e e



B Studies that attempt to find determinants of patient outcomes are generally
e e e e e e e e e e



experimental or quasi-experimental. They may be used to guide EBP but do not e e e e e e e e e e e e



completely define it.
e e e



C EBP is a combination of guidelines and specific patient needs and values.
e e e e e e e e e e e



D Quantitative and qualitative studies applied to the evaluation of patient outcomes are e e e e e e e e e e e



part of EBP but do not completely define EBP.

2. The nurse is collecting data about the sleep patterns of breastfed babies as part of a larger
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e



eresearch study. Which research method will the nurse use when collecting data for this study?
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e



a. Control
b. Description
c. Explanation
d. Prediction

ANS: B e




Feedback
A Control can be described as the ability to write a prescription to produce the desired
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e



outcome.
e



B Description involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing phenomena
e e e e e e e e e



and the relationships among these phenomena.
e e e e e e



C Explanation clarifies the relationships among phenomena and identifies why certain e e e e e e e e e



events occur.
e e



D Through prediction, the probability of a specific outcome can be estimated in a given
e e e e e e e e e e e e e



situation.

,3. The nurse is participating in a study and is collecting data identifying the number of obese
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e e



eadults whose parents were also obese or overweight. Which research method is being used in
e e e e e e e e e e e e e e



ethis study?
e



a. Control
b. Description
c. Explanation
d. Prediction

ANS: D e




Feedback
A Control indicates the ability to use a prescribed intervention to produce a desired
e e e e e e e e e e e e



outcome.
e



B Description involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing phenomena
e e e e e e e e e



and the relationships among these phenomena.
e e e e e e



C Explanation clarifies the relationships among phenomena and identifies why certain
e e e e e e e e e



events occur.
e e



D Through prediction the probability of a specific outcome can be estimated in a
e e e e e e e e e e e e



given situation. By knowing the percentage of parents of obese adults who were obese,
e e e e e e e e e e e e e



the probability of predicting this may be calculated.
