78 78 78 78 78 78 78




4. Which of the following best describes the difference between research utilization and
78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78




EBP?
78




a. Research utilization is a process of evaluating multiple studies for the most 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78




generalizable findings; EBP is use of the most recent studyon a topic.
78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78

, b. Research utilization involves changing practice based on findings of a single 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78




research study; EBP is the syntheses of findings from multiple studies to
78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78




incorporate with practitioner skills and client preference to determine best
78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78




care. 78




c. Research utilization is theapplication of research findings to health carepractice;EBP 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78




is considered in selecting medication options.
78 78 78 78 78 78




d. Research utilization is review of research publications; EBP is using the 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78




healthcare provider’s perception of what care would be best in individual
78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78




situations. 78




Evidence from other disciplines (p. 6)
78 78 78 78 78




5. In what way can evidence from disciplines other than nursing be helpful?
78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78




a. Theory based non-nursing evidence can provide a basis on which to build 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78




new evidence. 78 78




b. Non-nursing evidence supports the use of nursing knowledge obtained bytrialand 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78




error. 78




c. Clinical decision making can be based on findings from single non-nursing 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78




research studies. 78 78




d. All evidence is equallyimportant to the practice of nursing. 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78

78 78 7 8 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78 78




example of which type of evidence?
78 78 78 78 78 78
