MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which statement 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 and delivery of 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
Evidence-based practice evolves from the integration of the best
research evidence with clinical expertise and patient needs and values.
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. EBP is a combination of
guidelines and specific patient needs and values. Quantitative and
qualitative studies applied to the evaluation of patient outcomes are
part of EBP but do not completely define EBP.
DIF: Cognitive level: Remembering (Knowledge)
2. The nurse is collecting data about the sleep patterns of breastfed babies
as part of a larger research study. Which researNch mRethIod
GwillBth.eCnurMse use when collecting data for this study?
a. Control USNT O
b. Descripti
on
c. Explanati
on
d. Prediction
ANS: B
Description involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing
phenomena and the relationships among these phenomena. Control can
be described as the ability to write a prescription to produce the desired
results. Explanation clarifies the relationships among phenomena and
identifies why certain events occur. Through prediction, the probability of
a specific outcome can be estimated in a given situation.
DIF: Cognitive level: Understanding (Comprehension)
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.
Which research method is being used in this study?
a. Control
b. Description
, lOMoAR cPSD| 22830792
c. Explanation
d. Prediction
ANS: D
, lOMoAR cPSD| 22830792
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. Control indicates the ability to use a prescribed intervention
to produce the desired results. Description involves identifying and
understanding the nature of nursing phenomena and the relationships
among these phenomena. Explanation clarifies the relationships among
phenomena and identifies why certain events occur.
DIF: Cognitive level: Applying (Application)
4. The nurse reviews a study in which adherence to an asthma action plan is
compared among groups of young adults who received different asthma
education. Which research method does this represent?
a. Control
b. Description
c. Explanation
d. Prediction
ANS: C
Explanation clarifies the relationships among phenomena and identifies
why certain events occur. Control indicates the ability to use a prescribed
intervention to produce the desired results. Description involves
identifying and understanding the nature of nursing phenomena and the
relationships among these phenomena. Through prediction, the
probability of a specific outcome can be estimated in a given situation.
DIF: Cognitive level: Applying (Application)
5. A nurse manager is

nurses may indicate relative risk of needle-stick injuries. To study this,
the nurse manager will employ which method of study?
a. Control

6. Which is the most important result of Florence Nightingale’s data
collection and statistical analysis during the Crimean War?
a. Bringing awareness of the rigors of war to the general public
in relation to care practices
b. Developing a process for statistical analysis and nursing documentation
c. Identifying and defining the role of nurses in modern health care
