MULTIPLE CHOICE
1. Which Statement Best Describes Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)?
A. A Combination Of Best Research Evidence, Clinical Expertise, And The Needs And Values Of
Patients
B. A Determination Of The Factors Necessary To Control Patient Responses To Care And 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
Expertise And Patient Needs And Values. Studies That Attempt To Find Determinants Of Patient
Outcomes Are Generally Experimental Or Quasi-Experimental. They May Be Used To Guide EBP But Do
Not Completely Define It. EBP Is A Combination Of Guidelines And Specific Patient Needs And Values.
Quantitative And Qualitative Studies Applied To The Evaluation Of Patient Outcomes Are Part Of EBP But
Do Not Completely Define EBP.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Remembering (Knowledge)

Research Study. Which Research Method Will The NURSE Use When Collecting Data For This Study?
A. Control
B. Description
C. Explanation
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
Prescription To Produce The Desired Results. Explanation Clarifies The Relationships Among Phenomena
And Identifies Why Certain Events Occur. Through Prediction, The Probability Of A Specific Outcome Can
Be Estimated In A Given Situation.

Adults Whose Parents Were Also Obese Or Overweight. Which Research Method Is Being Used In This
Study?
A. Control
B. Description
C. Explanation
D. Prediction

Knowing The Percentage Of Parents Of Obese Adults Who Were Obese, The Probability Of Predicting
This May Be Calculated. Control Indicates The Ability To Use A Prescribed Intervention To Produce The
Desired Results. Description Involves Identifying And Understanding The Nature Of Nursing Phenomena
And The Relationships Among These Phenomena. Explanation Clarifies The Relationships Among
Phenomena And Identifies Why Certain Events Occur.
DIF: Cognitive Level: Applying (Application)
