Chapter 2. Evidence-Based Practice
Multiple Choice
Identify the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.
____ 1. The nurse working in a radiation oncology outpatient clinic wants to reduce the incidence of skin
breakdown in patients who receive beam radiation. Which question should the nurse use to guide a
literature search on this topic?
1. How often do patients with beam radiation experience skin breakdown?
2. Why do patients who get radiation beam therapy have skin breakdown?
3. What nursing actions minimize the occurrence of skin breakdown in patients
receiving beam radiation?
4. How does the rate of skin breakdown in our clinic patients receiving beam
radiation compare to other institutions in the city?

1 The frequency of skin breakdown and why patients develop skin breakdown
does not help identify ways to prevent skin breakdown.
2 The frequency of skin breakdown and why patients develop skin breakdown
does not help identify ways to prevent skin breakdown.
3 Asking a burning clinical question is the first step in the evidence-based practice
(EBP) process. It is important to include related factors in the question and to
focus on nursing interventions and care. In this situation, the nurse should focus
on nursing care that may reduce the occurrence of skin breakdown for the
specific patient population of interest.
4 Information on statistics from other organizations will not help the nurse
identify ways to prevent skin breakdown.

____ 2. A licensed practical nurse (LPN) working in a pediatric clinic is interested in improving patient
outcomes for children with asthma by preventing the need for hospitalization. Which clinical
question would best guide the nurse’s next steps?

2. What is the monthly admission rate of patients with asthma to the hospital?
3. What patient education materials are available that address prevention of asthma
attacks in pediatric patients?
4. How has the occurrence rate of asthma in children under the age of 5 changed
since the clinic instituted a no smoking policy?

Feedback
1 An internet search does not always provide EBPs and it is difficult to filter what
is accurate from what is not.
2 To find the best available evidence, you must search multiple databases for
systematic reviews, research studies, and journal articles. One well-known
database for nursing literature is the Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied
Health Literature (CINAHL).
3 Surveying fellow nurses will not provide best practices to drive care. Nurses’
opinions are often based on outdated practices.

Feedback
1 Nurse practitioners do not determine best practice.
2 The patient’s preference may not be reflective of what is best practice.

the best practice for cleaning a central line.

practice.

this process throughout the facility?
1. Educate individuals in the facility about implementing the change agency-wide.
2. Collect evidence to support implementation of a turn team.
3. Plan another pilot study to determine if implementing a turn team will reduce skin
breakdown.

3 EBP is not used to validate the importance of nursing care.
4 EBP is much more than just evaluating research studies to determine what
results to apply to nursing practice. EBP is a systematic process that utilizes
current evidence to make decisions about the care of patients, including
evaluation of quality and applicability of existing research, patient preferences,
costs, clinical expertise, and clinical settings. The use of EBP allows nurses to
give patients the best care possible with improved patient outcomes.

1 A small pilot study is typically done before an institute-wide change is made.
2 To implement a change system-wide, a pilot study should be performed first to
save cost if the slippers are ineffective.
