MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which statement best describes evidence-based practice (EBP)?
a. A combination of best research evidence, clinical epertise, and the needs a
nd values of patients
b. A determination of the factors necessary to control patient responses to care a
nd delivery of care
c. The development of population care guidelines applicable to all patients
d. The utilization of quantitative and qualitative studies to enhance patient outcomes
ANS: A
Evidence-
based practice evolves from the integration of the best research evidence with clinical e p
ertise and patient needs and values. Studies that attempt to find determinants of patient ou
tcomes are generally e perimental or quasi-
e perimental. They may be used to guide EBP but do not completely define it. EBP is a c
ombination of guidelines and specific patient needs and values. Quantitative and qualitativ
e studies applied to the evaluation of patient outcomes are part of EBP but do not comple
tely define EBP.

study?
a. Control USNT O
b. Description
c. Eplanation
d. Prediction
ANS: B
Description involves identifying and understanding the nature of nursing phenomena and the
relationships among these phenomena. Control can be described as the ability to write a p
rescription to produce the desired results. E planation clarifies the relationships among phe
nomena and identifies why certain events occur. Through prediction, the probability of a sp
ecific outcome can be estimated in a given situation.

3. The nurse is participating in a study and is collecting data identifying the number of obe
se adults whose parents were also obese or overweight. Which research method is being u

Through prediction, the probability of a specific outcome can be estimated in a given situ
ation. By knowing the percentage of parents of obese adults who were obese, the probabil
ity of predicting this may be calculated. Control indicates the ability to use a prescribed in
tervention to produce the desired results. Description involves identifying and understanding
the nature of nursing phenomena and the relationships among these phenomena. E planati
on clarifies the relationships among phenomena and identifies why certain events occur.

E planation clarifies the relationships among phenomena and identifies why certain events
