Pearson Vol 1, Mod 45 Study Guide.
Evidence-based practice (EBP) - Answers✔is used to form a bridge btwn research & nursing
practice.
Research - Answers✔a formal, systematic way of answering a question or approaching a
problem
Evidence - Answers✔can be defined as clinical knowledge, expert opinion, or information
resulting from research.
Evidence-based nursing - Answers✔seeks, considers, and synthesizes the combination of the
best available research evidence, the nurses' own clinical experience, and each patient's cultural
values and personal preferences to provide individualized, optimal nursing care appropriate for
the patient at the time of care.
Translational research - Answers✔a systematic approach of converting research knowledge into
applications of healthcare for improved patient outcomes. The translation of scientific evidence
into practical applications allows for enhanced human health, particularly when information
flows back and forth between researchers and clinicians, allowing for further investigation of
diseases and their effects on humans.
Nursing research - Answers✔the use of a systematic and strict scientific process to analyze
phenomena of interest to all areas of nursing, including practice, education, and administration.
Nursing clinical research - Answers✔seeks answers to questions that will ultimately improve pt
care, such as the following: what are the links between diet and the development of diabetes and
cardiovascular disease? Is a new drug or medical device more effective than one already on the
market? Do pts who undergo surgery at one medical center have a higher complication rate than
those who are treated at another? Are pts satisfied with their care during hospitalization?
Quantitative research - Answers✔uses precise measurement to collect data and analyze it
statistically for a summary and a description of the resulting findings or to test relationships
among variables. Example: "are there differences in skin breakdown between premature infants
who are bathed with plain water and those who are bathed in bacteriostatic soap?"
Qualitative research - Answers✔investigates a question through narrative data that explore the
subjective experiences of human beings and ban provide nursing with a better understanding of
