solution 2026
Define evidence-based practice (EBP) - correct answer ✔The collection, interpretation, and integration
of valid research evidence, combined with clinical expertise and an understanding of patient and family
values and preferences to inform clinical decision making.
State the significance of EBP and the role research plays - correct answer ✔EBP allows nurses to make
complex health care decisions based on findings from rigorous or high-quality research reports, clinical
expertise, and patient perspectives
quanatative research - correct answer ✔process of collecting and analyzing numerical data
Qualitative Research - correct answer ✔informal research methods, including observation, following
social media sites, in-depth interviews, focus groups, and projective techniques
What is a PICO question? - correct answer ✔P- Who is the patient or population?
I- What is the intervention of interest?
C- What is the main comparator under consideration?
O- What is the specific outcome of interest?
List and identify the levels of evidence hierarchy - correct answer ✔picture of pyramid
qualitative research designs - correct answer ✔-Case Study
-Ethnography
-Phenomenological Study
-Grounded Theory Study
, -Content Analysis
phenomenological study - correct answer ✔is conducted to understand people's everyday life. It asks
"What is the lived experience of these people?"
ethnographic study - correct answer ✔in-depth study of a culture, which uses a combination of
methods including participant observation
grounded theory study - correct answer ✔inductive approach involving a systematic set of procedures
to arrive at a theory about basic social processes.
case study - correct answer ✔an observation technique in which one person is studied in depth in the

historical research - correct answer ✔Used to collect data on past occurrences. Takes many forms
including biographical histories, review of ANY type of historical data (archives, documents, non-written
materials, physical remains, objects, photographs, films, audio recordings, artwork
experimental research - correct answer ✔gathering primary data by selecting matched groups of
subjects, giving them different treatments, controlling related factors, and checking for differences in
group responses
homogeneity - correct answer ✔refers to the participants having similar characteristics that might
affect outcomes. If you are randomly assigning participants to receive the treatment or a placebo, you
would want these two groups to be similar (homogenous) at baseline
Internal validity - correct answer ✔asks whether the independent variable really made the difference
or the change in the dependent variable.
