Perry Et Al.: Clinical Nursing Skills & Techniques, 10th Edition
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.
ANS: 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 Portions Of A Textbook Often Become Outdated By The Time It Is Published.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.

2. When Evidence-Based Practice Is Used, Patient Care Will Be:
A. Standardized For All.
B. Unhampered By Patient Culture.
C. Variable According To The Situation.
D. Safe From The Hazards Of Critical Thinking.
ANS: C
Using Your Clinical Expertise And Considering Patients‘ Cultures, Values, And Preferences Ensures That You Will
Apply Available Evidence In Practice Ethically And Appropriately. Even When You Use The Best Evidence
Available, Application And Outcomes Will Differ; As A Nurse, You Will Develop Critical Thinking Skills To
Determine Whether Evidence Is Relevant And Appropriate.
