MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Evidence-based practice is a problem-solving approach to making decisions
about patient care that is grounded in:
A. The latest information found in textbooks.
B. Systematically conducted research studies.
C. Tradition in clinical practice.
D. Quality improvement and risk-management data.
ANSWER; B
The best Evidence comes from well-designed, systematically conducted research
studies described in scientific journals. Portions of a textbook often become
outdated by the time it is published. Many health care settings do not have a
process to help staff adopt new Evidence in practice, and nurses in practice
settings lack easy access to risk-management data, relying instead on tradition or
convenience. Some sources of Evidence do not originate from research. These
include quality improvement and risk-management data; infection control data;
retrospective or concurrent chart reviews; and clinicians’ expertise. Although
non–research-based Evidence is often very valuable, it is important that you learn
to rely more on research-based Evidence.
