Comprehensive Finals Review (Qns & Ans)
2025
1. Which of the following best describes the primary goal of
evidence-based health care management?
- A) To reduce healthcare costs only
- B) To make informed decisions based on the best available
evidence
- C) To prioritize technology over patient care
- D) To increase the number of medical procedures performed
- ANS: B) To make informed decisions based on the best
available evidence
©2024/2025
, - Rationale: Evidence-based health care management focuses
on making informed decisions using the best available evidence to
improve patient outcomes and efficiency.
2. What is the primary purpose of a systematic review in
evidence-based practice?
- A) To compile and analyze the results of multiple studies on a
specific topic
- B) To collect primary data from patients
- C) To create new hypotheses for research
- D) To conduct medical experiments
- ANS: A) To compile and analyze the results of multiple
studies on a specific topic
- Rationale: A systematic review compiles and analyzes
results from multiple studies to provide a comprehensive
understanding of a specific topic.
3. Which of the following is NOT a component of the PICO
framework used in evidence-based practice?
- A) Population
- B) Intervention
- C) Comparison
- D) Organization
©2024/2025
, - ANS: D) Organization
- Rationale: The PICO framework includes Population,
Intervention, Comparison, and Outcome, but not Organization.
Fill-in-the-Blank Questions
4. The __________ scale is used to assess the quality of
evidence in research studies.
- ANS: GRADE (Grading of Recommendations, Assessment,
Development, and Evaluation)
- Rationale: The GRADE scale is used to assess the quality of
evidence in research studies and provide recommendations.
5. In evidence-based practice, a __________ is a summary of the
best available evidence on a specific clinical question.
- ANS: Clinical guideline
- Rationale: A clinical guideline is a summary of the best
available evidence on a specific clinical question, providing
recommendations for practice.
6. The __________ database is commonly used to find
systematic reviews and meta-analyses in healthcare research.
- ANS: Cochrane Library
©2024/2025
, - Rationale: The Cochrane Library is a widely-used database
for finding systematic reviews and meta-analyses in healthcare
research.
True/False Questions
7. True or False: Evidence-based practice relies solely on
clinical expertise and patient preferences.
- ANS: False
- Rationale: Evidence-based practice relies on a combination
of clinical expertise, patient preferences, and the best available
evidence.
8. True or False: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are
considered the gold standard for evaluating the effectiveness of
interventions.
- ANS: True
- Rationale: Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) are
considered the gold standard for evaluating the effectiveness of
interventions due to their ability to minimize bias.
9. True or False: Evidence-based health care management aims
to improve patient outcomes and reduce variations in care.
- ANS: True
