1. After completing an initial assessment of a patient, the nurse has charted that his respirations

are eupneic and his pulse is 58 beats per minute. These types of data would be:

Objective data are what the health professional observes by inspecting, percussing, palpating, and

auscultating during the physical examination. Subjective data is what the person says about him or

herself during history taking. The terms reflective and introspective are not used to describe data.

should keep in mind that novice nurses, without a background of skills and experience from which

to draw, are more likely to make their decisions using:

a. Intuition.

reflects EBP?

a. EBP relies on tradition for support of best practices.

b. EBP is simply the use of best practice techniques for the treatment of patients.

EBP is a systematic approach to practice that emphasizes the use of best evidence in combination with the

clinici ANS experience, as well as patient preferences and values, when making decisions about care and

treatment. EBP is more than simply using the best practice techniques to treat patients, and questioning
