Systematic reviews - ANSWER - Ex. Phillips & Nay did a review to determine nsg interventions & how effective they were at minimizing complications r/t med administration via enteral tubes. Quality Improvement
Integrative reviews - ANSWER - Ex Holt did a review to summarize evidence of length of RN shifts & pt outcomes. Meta-analysis- - ANSWER - combine results into measurable format & statically estimate effects of interventions. Combine works that are similar/identical to make statistical comparisons. Use this when you can't use a RCT
Meta-analysis- - ANSWER - Ex. Johnson et al. determined the benefits & harms of meds for adults w/ ETOH use disorders Quality Improvement
