Definition of research (p. 14)
xc xc xc xc


1. Which of the following is the best definition of research?
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



a. Critically thinking about problems that occur in health care to determine
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


possible solutions. xc x c


b. Information that is based on personal experience or tradition. xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


c. Planned and systematic activity that leads to new knowledge and/or
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


the discovery of solutions to problems or questions.
xc x c xc xc xc xc xc xc


d. Trying a variety of approaches to a clinical problem and settling on the approach
xc xc x c xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


that is effective more often than not.

2. Which of the following is the best definition of research utilization?
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


a. Applying research findings from individual studies to practice. xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


b. Analyzing multiple research studies to synthesize findings. xc xc xc xc xc xc


c. Appreciating the importance of clinical decision making. xc xc xc xc xc xc



d. Using previous personal experience to build confidence.

3. Which of the following is the best definition of evidence-based practice (EBP)?
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


a. Application of research findings based on scientific theories in a clinical setting.
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


b. Research studies that correspond to nationally established priorities for healthcare,
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


conducted by experts in their fields.
x c xc xc xc xc xc


c. Use of theory-derived, research-based information in making decisions about
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


health care delivery, with consideration of individual needs and preferences
x c xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


and the clinical expertise of the provider.

Difference between research utilization and EBP (pp. 4-5)
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



4. Which of the following best describes the difference between research utilization and EBP?
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc



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


most generalizable findings; EBP is use of the most recent study on a
xc x c xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


topic. xc

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


single research study; EBP is the syntheses of findings from multiple
xc x c xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


studies to incorporate with practitioner skills and client preference to
xc xc x c xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


determine best care.
xc xc x c


c. Research utilization is the application of research findings to health care practice;
xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


EBP is considered in selecting medication options.
xc x c xc xc xc xc xc


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


healthcare provider’s perception of what care would be best in
x c xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


individual situations.

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



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



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


build new evidence. xc x c xc


b. Non-nursing evidence supports the use of nursing knowledge obtained by trial xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc xc


and error. xc x c


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


nursing research studies. x c xc


d. All evidence is equally important to the practice of nursing.
