MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which best describes evidence-based-practice (EBP)?
a. A combination of best research evidence, clinical expertise, and the needs and values of patients.
b. A determination of the factors necessary to control patient responses to care.
c. The development of population care guidelines applicable to all patients.
d. The utilization of quantitative and qualitative studies to enhance patient outcomes.
ANS: A
Feedback
A. Evidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best research evidence with clinical
expertise and patient needs and values.
B. Studies that attempt to find determinants of patient outcomes are generally experimental or quasi-
experimental. They may be used to guide EBP but do not completely define it.
C. EBP is a combination of guidelines and specific patient needs and values.
D. Quantitative and qualitative studies applied to the evaluation of patient outcomes are part of EBP
but do not completely define EBP.

2. The nurse is collecting data about the sleep patterns of breastfed babies aspart
of a larger research study. Which research method will the nurse use when
collecting data for this study?
a. Control
b. Description
c. Explanation
d. Predict ion
ANS: B
Feedback
A. Control can be described as the ability to write a prescription to produce the desired outcome.
B. Description involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing phenomena and the
relationships among these phenomena.
C. Explanation clarifies the relationships among phenomena and identifies why certain events occur.
D. Through prediction, the probability of a specific outcome can be estimated in a given situation.
PTS: 1 DIF: Cognitive level: Understanding (Comprehension)
REF: dm. 6
3. The nurse is participating in a study and is collecting data identifying the number
, of obese adults whose parents were also obese or overweight. Whichresearch
method is being used in this study?
a. Control
b. Description
c. Explanation
d. Predict ion
ANS: D
Feedback
A Control indicates the ability to use a prescribed intervention to produce a desired outcome.
B Description involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing phenomena and the
relationships among these phenomena.
C Explanation clarifies the relationships among phenomena and identifies why certain events occur.
D Through prediction the probability of a specific outcome can be estimated in a given situation. By
knowing the percentage of parents of obese adults who were obese, the probability of predicting this
may be calculated.
