(1st Semester) Fundamentals final exam
test bank questions
A nurse uses evidence-based practice
(EBP) to provide nursing care. What is
the best rationale for the nurse's
behavior?
a. EBP is a guide for nurses in making
clinical decisions.
b. EBP is based on the latest textbook
information.
c. EBP is easily attained at the bedside.
d. EBP is always right for all situations. -
a. EBP is a guide for nurses in making
clinical decisions.
Evidence-based practice (EBP) is a
guide for nurses to structure how to
make appropriate, timely, and effective
clinical decisions. A textbook relies on
,the scientific literature, which may be
outdated by the time the book is
published. Unfortunately, much of the
best evidence never reaches the
bedside. EBP is not to be blindly applied
without using good judgment and
critical thinking skills.
In caring for patients, what must the
nurse remember about evidence-based
practice (EBP)?
a.
EBP is the only valid source of
knowledge that should be used.
b.
EBP is secondary to traditional or
convenient care knowledge.
c.
,EBP is dependent on patient values and
expectations.
d.
EBP is not shown to provide better
patient outcomes. - c. EBP is dependent
on patient values and expectations.
Even when the best evidence available
is used, application and outcomes will
differ based on patient values,
preferences, concerns, and/or
expectations. Nurses often care for
patients on the basis of tradition or
convenience. Although these sources
have value, it is important to learn to rely
more on research evidence than on
nonresearch evidence. Evidence-based
care improves quality, safety, patient
outcomes, and nurse satisfaction while
reducing costs
, A nurse wants to change a patient
procedure. Which action will the nurse
take to easily find research evidence to
support this change?
a.
Read all the articles found on the
Internet.
b.
Make a general search of the Internet.
c.
Use a PICOT format for the search.
d.
Start with a broad question. - c. Use a
PICOT format for the search.
The more focused the question is, the
easier it becomes to search for evidence
