MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. When caring for clients using evidence-informed practice, which of the
following does the nurse use?
a. Clinical judgement based on experience
b. Evidence from a clinical research study
c. The best available evidence to guide clinical expertise
d. Evaluation of data showing that the client outcomes are met
ANS: C
Evidence-informed nursing practice is a continuous interactive process involving
the explicit, conscientious, and judicious consideration of the best available
evidence to provide care. Four primary elements are: (a) clinical state, setting, and
circumstances; (b) client preferences and actions; (c) best research evidence; and
(d) health care resources. Clinical judgement based on the nurse’s clinical
experience is part of EIP, but clinical decision making also should incorporate
current research and research-based guidelines. Evidence from one clinical
research study does not provide an adequate substantiation for interventions.
Evaluation of client outcomes is important, but interventions should be based on
research from randomized control studies with a large number of subjects.

2. Which of the following best e xpl ai nsthe nu rses’ pri mary use of the nursing process

providing care to
clients?
a. To explain nursing interventions to other health care professionals
b. As a problem-solving tool to identify and treat clients’ health care needs
c. As a scientific-based process of diagnosing the client’s health care problems
d. To establish nursing theory that incorporates the biopsychosocial nature of
humans
ANS: B
The nursing process is an assertive problem-solving approach to the identification
and treatment of clients’ problems. Diagnosis is only one phase of the nursing
process. The primary use of the nursing process is in client care, not to establish
nursing theory or explain nursing interventions to other health care professionals.
