MULTIPLE CHOICE g




1. When caring for clients using evidence-informed practice, which of the following does the
g g g g g g g g g g g g


nurse use?
g g


a. Clinical judgement based on experience g g g g


b. Evidence from a clinical research study g g g g g


c. The best available evidence to guide clinical expertise
g g g g g g g


d. Evaluation of data showing that the client outcomes are met
g g g g g g g g g




ANS: C g


Evidence-informed nursing practice is a continuous interactive process involving the explicit,
g g g g g g g g g g


conscientious, and judicious consideration of the best available evidence to provide care. Four
g g g g g g g g g g g g g


primary elements are: (a) clinical state, setting, and circumstances; (b) client preferences and
g g g g g g g g g g g g g


actions; (c) best research evidence; and (d) health care resources. Clinical judgement based on
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g


the nurse’s clinical experience is part of EIP, but clinical decision making also should
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g


incorporate current research and research-based guidelines. Evidence from one clinical
g g g g g g g g g g


research study does not provide an adequate substantiation for interventions. Evaluation of
g g g g g g g g g g g g


client outcomes is important, but interventions should be based on research from randomized
g g g g g g g g g g g g g


control studies with a large number of subjects.
g g g g g g g g

g
N R I G B.C M
g g g g g g g g g g



providing care to clients? USNT O g g g
g g g


a. To explain nursing interventions to other health care professionals
g g g g g g g g


b. As a problem-solving tool to identify and treat clients’ health care needs
g g g g g g g g g g g


c. As a scientific-based process of diagnosing the client’s health care problems
g g g g g g g g g g


d. To establish nursing theory that incorporates the biopsychosocial nature of humans
g g g g g g g g g g




ANS: B g


The nursing process is an assertive problem-solving approach to the identification and
g g g g g g g g g g g


treatment of clients’ problems. Diagnosis is only one phase of the nursing process. The
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g


primary use of the nursing process is in client care, not to establish nursing theory or explain
g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g g


nursing interventions to other health care professionals.

with this turning schedule?
