DEVELOPING EVIDENCE-BASED PRACTICE QUESTIONS
WITH ANSWERS 2023 A+
1 The U.S. Human Genome Project was started in 1990 by the Department of Energy and
the National Institutes of Health to do all of the following except:
A :Develop and store the project facts in databases.
B :Address issues of an ethical, legal, and social nature that might occur due to the project.
C :Ensure that associated technologies stayed only in the public sector.
E :Identify the thousands of genes in human DNA.
C/The project goals of the U.S. Human Genome Project involved transferring related
technologies to the private sector.
2 Which of the following are true statements when obtaining physiological measures from
laboratory tests?
Select all that apply.
A : Consistency and accuracy of laboratory data are ensured because an objective measurement
is being made.
B :Neither patients nor insurers can be billed for invasive procedures (e.g., blood draws) that are
not part of the study participant’s routine care.
C :Laboratories performing lab analyses need to be certified and to comply with national
standards.

D :When conducting a research study, physiological measures from laboratory tests should be
used rather than more subjective self-reports.
B /Laboratory measures that are not part of patients’ routine care cannot be billed to the study
participant or the insurer. Laboratories performing analyses need to be certified and comply with
national standards developed by the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute. Laboratory data
can be subject to inconsistency and inaccuracy if equipment is not regularly monitored and
calibrated. The best measure used in a research study depends on the research question. Some
data can only be gathered by self-report (e.g., nausea, pruritus); other research questions require
more objective laboratory data (e.g., cholesterol levels following a cardiac rehabilitation
intervention).

3 :Which of the following is not a primary reason for nurse researchers to use existing databases
to conduct secondary data analysis?
A : Access to large data sets nationwide
