1. Evidence-based practice is a problem-solving approach to making decisions about
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv


patient care that is grounded in:
vv vv vv vv vv vv

ANS: B v v


The best evidence comes from well-designed, systematically conducted research studies
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv


described in scientific journals. Portions of a textbook often become outdated by the
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv


time it is published. Many health care settings do not have a process to help staff
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv


adopt new evidence in practice, and nurses in practice settings lack easy access to
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv


risk-management data, relying instead on tradition or convenience. Some sources of
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv


evidence do not originate from research. These include quality improvement and risk-
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv


management data; infection control data; retrospective or concurrent chart reviews; and
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv


clinicians’ expertise. Although non–research-based evidence is often very valuable, it
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv


is important that you learn to rely more on research-based evidence.

Using your clinical expertise and considering patients’ cultures, values, and preferences
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv


ensures that you will apply available evidence in practice ethically and appropriately.
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv


Even when you use the best evidence available, application and outcomes will differ;
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv


as a nurse, you will develop critical thinking skills to determine whether evidence is
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv


relevant and appropriate.

vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv


health problem.
vv vv

vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv


prognostic factor) do you think is worthwhile to use in practice?
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv

change in patient’s perception) do you wish to achieve or observe as the result of

4. A well-developed PICOT question helps the nurse:

a. search for evidence. vv vv


b. include all five elements of the sequence. vv vv vv vv vv vv


c. find as many articles as possible in a literature search.
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv

ANS: A v v


The more focused a question that you ask is, the easier it is to search for evidence in
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv


the scientific literature. A well-designed PICOT question does not have to include all
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv


five elements, nor does it have to follow the PICOT sequence. Do not be satisfied with
vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv vv


clinical routines. Always question and use critical thinking to consider better ways to

provide patient care.
