Chapter 01: Using Evidence in Practice
Perry et al.: Clinical Nursing Skills & Techniques, 9th Edition
MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Evidence-based practice is a problem-solving approach to making
decisions about patient care that is grounded 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 in scientific journals. Portions of a textbook often
become outdated by the time it is published. Many health care settings do
not have a process to help staff adopt new evidence in practice, and nurses
in practice settings lack easy access to risk- management data, relying
instead on tradition or convenience. Some sources of evidence do not
originate from research. These include quality improvement and risk-
management data; infection control data; retrospective or concurrent chart
reviews; and clinicians’ expertise. Although non–research-based evidence is
often very valuable, it is important that you learn to rely more on research-
based evidence.
