NURA 1050 Exam 3 UPDATED ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) a process nurses use to help collect , analyze, and implement research findings
into clinical practice.
Sources of Research Ideas Research ideas often come from identifying clinical problems, performing a
literature review, and recognizing gaps in the literature.
, PICO P - Problem/Population, I - Intervention, C - Comparison, O - Outcome.
Nursing vs. Medical Journals Nursing journals focus on nursing-specific interventions and care, while medical
journals emphasize diagnosis, treatment, and medical procedures.
Role of Nurse Researchers Investigate and disseminate knowledge to advance the practice of nursing
Purpose of EBP in Nursing EBP supports safe, effective, and efficient nursing care by guiding clinical
decisions using the best current evidence.
Critiquing Research The process of evaluating a study's validity, reliability, applicability, and ethical
integrity before applying its findings to practice.
Credibility of Sources Credible sources are peer-reviewed, published by reputable organizations, and
based on solid research methods.
EBP Frameworks and Models Examples Common models include the Iowa Model, Johns Hopkins Nursing EBP Model, and
ACE Star Model. These provide structure for implementing EBP in clinical settings.
What is EBP? (Expanded) EBP is the integration of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and patient
preferences to make clinical decisions. It aims to improve outcomes and ensure
high-quality care.
Is My Source Credible? (Expanded) To evaluate source credibility, consider the author's qualifications, publication
source, peer-review status, and date of publication.
Nurse Researcher Requirements BSN is considered entry level but Advanced Practice Degree preferred
Steps in the EBP Process 1. Ask a clinical question 2. Search for the best evidence 3. Critically appraise the
evidence 4. Apply the evidence to practice 5. Evaluate outcomes 6. Disseminate
findings.
Barriers to EBP Common barriers include lack of time, limited access to quality research,
inadequate training, resistance to change, and organizational constraints.
Benefits of EBP Improves patient outcomes, increases nursing confidence, supports clinical
decision-making, and promotes high-quality, cost-effective care.
Critical Thinking (AACN Definition) critical thinking as a skill that uses logic and reasoning to determine solutions,
conclusions, and interventions to healthcare problems.
Purpose of Critical Thinking in Nursing To guide decision-making and actions by analyzing information logically before
acting. Nurses must understand the "why" behind their actions.
Objectives of Learning Critical Thinking Ask pertinent questions, analyze evidence, and evaluate options before drawing
conclusions.
