n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6

solutions. n6
b. Information that is based on personal experience or tradition. n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
c. Planned and systematic activity that leads to new knowledge and/or the n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
discovery of solutions to problems or questions.
6
n n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
d. Trying a variety of approaches to a clinical problem and settling on the approachthat n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
is effective more often than not. n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6

n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
2. Which of the following is the best definition of research utilization?
n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6

3. Which of the following is the best definition of evidence-based practice (EBP)?
n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
a. Application of research findings based on scientific theories in a clinical setting. n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
b. Research studies that correspond to nationally established priorities for healthcare, n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
conducted by experts in their fields. n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
c. Use of theory-derived, research-based information in making decisions aboutn6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
health care delivery, with consideration of individual needs and preferences and
6

the clinical expertise of the provider. n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6

Difference between research utilization and EBP (pp. 4-5)
n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
4. Which of the following best describes the difference between research utilization and
n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
EBP?
n6
a. Research utilization is a process of evaluating multiple studies for the most n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
generalizable findings; EBP is use of the most recent studyon a topic.
n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
, b. Research utilization involves changing practice based on findings of a single n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
research study; EBP is the syntheses of findings from multiple studies to
6
n n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
incorporate with practitioner skills and client preference to determine best
n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
care. n6
c. Research utilization is theapplication of research findings to health carepractice;EBP n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
is considered in selecting medication options.
n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
d. Research utilization is review of research publications; EBP is using the n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
healthcare provider’s perception of what care would be best in individual
n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
situations. n6
Evidence from other disciplines (p. 6)
n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
5. In what way can evidence from disciplines other than nursing be helpful?
n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
a. Theory based non-nursing evidence can provide a basis on which to build n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
new evidence. 6
n n6
b. Non-nursing evidence supports the use of nursing knowledge obtained bytrialand n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
error. n6
c. Clinical decision making can be based on findings from single non-nursing n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
research studies. n6 n6
d. All evidence is equallyimportant to the practice of nursing. n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6 n6
