4. Which of the following best describes the difference between research utilization and
n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/

a. Research utilization is a process of evaluating multiple studies for the most n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/


generalizable findings; EBP is use of the most recent study on a topic.

b. Research utilization involves changing practice based on findings of a n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/


single research study; EBP is the syntheses of findings from multiple
n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/


studies to incorporate with practitioner skills and client preference to
n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/


determine best care.
n/ n/ n/ n/


c. Research utilization is the application of research findings to health care
n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/


practice; EBP is considered in selecting medication options.
n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/


d. Research utilization is review of research publications; EBP is using the
n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/


healthcare provider’s perception of what care would be best in individual
n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/


situations. n/ n/

n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/


5. In what way can evidence from disciplines other than nursing be helpful?
n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/


a. Theory based non-nursing evidence can provide a basis on which to build n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/


new evidence. n/ n/ n/


b. Non-nursing evidence supports the use of nursing knowledge obtained by trial n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/


and error. n/ n/ n/


c. Clinical decision making can be based on findings from single non-nursingn/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/ n/


research studies. n/ n/ n/


d. All evidence is equally important to the practice of nursing.

6. You are a new nurse working at XYZ hospital. Your preceptor tells you to dangle
