Making Evidence-Based
Decisions
Q & A w/ Rationales
2024
,1. Which step of the evidence-based practice (EBP) model
involves identifying a clinical question or problem?
a) Formulating a clinical question
b) Critically appraising the evidence
c) Evaluating the outcomes
d) Applying the evidence
Answer: a) Formulating a clinical question
Rationale: Formulating a clinical question is the first step
in the EBP model. It involves identifying a specific issue or
problem that requires evidence-based decision-making.
2. Which step of the EBP model involves searching for
high-quality evidence to answer the clinical question?
a) Formulating a clinical question
b) Critically appraising the evidence
c) Evaluating the outcomes
d) Applying the evidence
Answer: b) Critically appraising the evidence
Rationale: Once a clinical question is formulated,
healthcare professionals need to search for and critically
appraise the available evidence to support their decision-
making process.
3. After critically appraising the evidence, what is the next
, step in the EBP model?
a) Formulating a clinical question
b) Critically appraising the evidence
c) Evaluating the outcomes
d) Applying the evidence
Answer: d) Applying the evidence
Rationale: After critically appraising the evidence,
healthcare professionals should apply the evidence in their
clinical practice to make informed decisions in care
planning.
4. What does the evaluation of outcomes in the EBP model
involve?
a) Critically appraising the evidence
b) Assessing patient preferences
c) Analyzing the effectiveness of the implemented practice
d) Developing a clinical question
Answer: c) Analyzing the effectiveness of the implemented
practice
Rationale: Evaluating the outcomes within the EBP model
involves analyzing the effectiveness of the implemented
evidence-based practice in order to determine its impact on
patient care.
